Autograph Letter Signed by 2nd Lieut. Ela H. Clark, Battery H, 1st. NY Artillery. One page, 7 3/4” x 9 3/4”. Gloucester Point, Va. October 20, 1862. Clark writes to Col. W.W. Davis to submit a conversation that took place between Major Dixon, a paymaster and Mr. Dobson (A Secessionist). He writes in part: “ … The Major remarked the Emancipation Act will not be carried into effect it will be repealed before that time … if they confiscate your land, who will buy it, not your children or Virginias … murdered, what then, arrested by Secesh Sherif, tried a Seshef jury, and if the man don’t die, they many hang you …” Fine.
