              <text>&lt;p&gt;Officers Hosp. Annapolis Md.&lt;br /&gt;Wed. Oct. 19th 1864&lt;br /&gt;Dr Friends at Home&lt;br /&gt;I think of so many things I wish&lt;br /&gt;to say to you that while I have leisure I will write some of them. &lt;br /&gt;I wish to know all about house affairs from the moment I left until the&lt;br /&gt;present moment. Did Miranda + Mr. Edmund go up that Thurs. and&lt;br /&gt;did you ever return with Miranda and let the dishes stand. When did&lt;br /&gt;Aunt Sarah + Mr. Edmund return to Northeast. Has Lucys school begun.&lt;br /&gt;O and a hundred other little nothings. Who is going to get that pretty&lt;br /&gt;album and those really pretty lithographs that I got so angry at Uncle&lt;br /&gt;Louis about! Did your cash hold out to get home, girls? Mine did so&lt;br /&gt;much better than I expected that I must tell you about it. Perhaps&lt;br /&gt;you remember I told you what I had outside the even $100.00 would not &lt;br /&gt;take me through New York, but it did more took me clean through to &lt;br /&gt;Annapolis and was not quite gone there. Dont you think the pleasantest&lt;br /&gt;hours we had in B'port were those at Aunt Lucys? I do and the pleasant&lt;br /&gt;est hour that up in my little room, talking over prospects and the past&lt;br /&gt;and future. You dont know how bad I felt at the depot when I thought&lt;br /&gt;the train was coming and Fannie away. I felt bad enough to leave you&lt;br /&gt;at all, but I think I could not have gone without a sight of both your&lt;br /&gt;faces. I believe there were others on the platform when I left, but I&lt;br /&gt;recal none, can remember no faces but those 2 slightly tearful ones.&lt;br /&gt;I wonder if a few tears from my eyes would not have started those dumplings&lt;br /&gt;from my throat. I could have sobbed like a boy, but that would have done&lt;br /&gt;very little good and would not have been much to my credit anyway,&lt;br /&gt;so I swallowed grief and tears with election returns from Penn. etc. from Tribune&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;[page 2]&lt;br /&gt;Have you ever heard from our groups yet? When they come will you not send &lt;br /&gt;me one in which I am capped. Dont let Charrie pay for any. For she more&lt;br /&gt;than paid me for her tickets, and now while I think of it wont you pay&lt;br /&gt;Fred Colemans blacksmith bill, less than a dollar, he told me I am sure&lt;br /&gt;but the exact amount he had forgotten and Jobel a little bill for fixing my &lt;br /&gt;boots which my hurried leave prevented me from paying. Pay and send &lt;br /&gt;the amount to me if you please and I will remit. Please write too if&lt;br /&gt;you get the invoice I subscribed for Mrs. J.S. Carliss this morning and you ought&lt;br /&gt;to get it this week sure. If not write to that office and I will advise Mr. Tribuno&lt;br /&gt;of his duty. I took the precaution to note the number, date and letter of the bill&lt;br /&gt;and date and place of the mailing, so I will give Mr. T. some particulars&lt;br /&gt;if he does not send on his paper soon. Lt. Chapin has left us for&lt;br /&gt;home. He got his discharge yesterday and I presume is nearly home now.&lt;br /&gt;(Thurs. morn 20th Oct.) I did not see him very much while he was here&lt;br /&gt;for he was in another ward, but I saw he did not wish to return to the&lt;br /&gt;regt. indeed he told me that none of the officers of the 2nd that had been &lt;br /&gt;here, wished to go back. He spoke harshly of Col. Mackenzie and of&lt;br /&gt;his treatment of the 2nd saying that he would much rather go back to&lt;br /&gt;his old regt. (the 15th C.V.) and &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;be&lt;/span&gt; infantry sure. Did I ever tell you&lt;br /&gt;anything of Phil? He was private in the 15th C.V. until Burnsides battle&lt;br /&gt;of Fredericksburg, when for special bravery and daring he was promoted 2nd Lt.&lt;br /&gt;He told me that he was in no way responsible for what he did that day&lt;br /&gt;as he was so full of whiskey that he did not know anything he did,&lt;br /&gt;but I hope he overdrew this part of his story, for it seemed like he&lt;br /&gt;might have been brave without whiskey - much more to his credit.&lt;br /&gt;He is out of the service now and quite happy I think he looked so when&lt;br /&gt;I met him yesterday noon as I was going to dinner. He did not lean&lt;br /&gt;on his staff heavily at all and his face looked brighter than usual&lt;br /&gt;He went off without bidding me good by even, he was so excited and pleased&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;[page 3]&lt;br /&gt;I was sorry about those vignettes of mine. For it did seem as though &lt;br /&gt;they might have been better. I think Mr. Eriksons taste in &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;poses&lt;/span&gt; is not&lt;br /&gt;very correct. There was no necessity of my looking so gawky. For really I can&lt;br /&gt;be better looking than that. For I have been by other artists, however I do&lt;br /&gt;not care very much. I'll get some new pictures when I get promoted. &lt;br /&gt;I wish ma + Fanny, you would some time send me your cartes. I regret now&lt;br /&gt;that Ma could not have gome to N. Milford with me, and you girls to N. Britain&lt;br /&gt;but I could not see how it was to be done in the time of it, and it is just a &lt;br /&gt;little late now. Do you know I am afraid you did not see me in the&lt;br /&gt;best light, when I was home? I found everything so new and still so &lt;br /&gt;natural that I was confused a bit at first and then I wanted to be so&lt;br /&gt;very free and boyish that I fear I sometimes rather overdid the subject.&lt;br /&gt;But if you knew how I enjoyed every moment I spent in Conn. most&lt;br /&gt;especially those hours at home, you would easily forgive my follies. I&lt;br /&gt;can never enjoy anything &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;more&lt;/span&gt; in this world than those little tete a tetes we&lt;br /&gt;used to have after the company was gone, and then Miss Strong was abed.&lt;br /&gt;But there are new names, new faces for me now, for a time.&lt;br /&gt;After breakfast, Phil did not go yesterday after all. I met him going to b'fast&lt;br /&gt;but he goes today, so I will have an opportunity to see him and bid him&lt;br /&gt;adieu. I have just come off from the wharf with Capt. Harding and Lieut. Dale&lt;br /&gt;We went down to see the paroled prisoners from Charleston via Fortress Monroe&lt;br /&gt;per steamer New York. A sad, sad sight. Officers looked comfortable generally&lt;br /&gt;but the poor boys were almost gone with starvation, some half dozen quite so.&lt;br /&gt;Some 40 of us go before the Board of Examination this morning, and I&lt;br /&gt;should not be surprised if some of us went out to reinforce "Sheridan&lt;br /&gt;Sheridan, Cavalry Sheridan" in a day or two. I would like to go if &lt;br /&gt;I could stand it there, but if it was just as convenient I would prefer&lt;br /&gt;some lighter duty for a few days, until I was a little stronger in body.&lt;br /&gt;My appetite is good now, not so voracious as when at home and I am&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;[page 4]&lt;br /&gt;very regular in meals and hours and would soon be strong and healthy&lt;br /&gt;I hope if left here or put on light duty, but if sent to front I shall&lt;br /&gt;try to get well by the way, and it may be best so. I shall be satisfied&lt;br /&gt;any way, and shall never forget to thank God for the privilege I enjoy&lt;br /&gt;of seeing you all at home and so well whatever may befal me in &lt;br /&gt;the future. We all enjoyed it I think and will all pray that some &lt;br /&gt;day not far distant we may meet again for more than "forty (40) days"&lt;br /&gt;I am sure we shall meet, and I hope here in life, but if not it will be,&lt;br /&gt;I trust, in heaven and there will be no leaves of absence there to annoy&lt;br /&gt;us. Phil went off about 2 or 3 o'c and long ere this, is buzzing up toward home&lt;br /&gt;so now I am quite alone and should be very lonely if I could not write to you&lt;br /&gt;and the other Friends. I am trying hard to get my diary and correspondence&lt;br /&gt;up even, but it is no small job, and is far from completion yet.&lt;br /&gt;Friday morn. Still here, but without anything near to relate. We hear&lt;br /&gt;rumors of a fight up the Valley, and it is said Sheridan has&lt;br /&gt;defeated Longstreet but as yet it is only a rumor. Hope it's true.&lt;br /&gt;Lt. Dale, a new friend of ours of the 4th Va. Inf. 8th A Corps is going&lt;br /&gt;up to the army today. I wish I was able to go with him, but&lt;br /&gt;shall have to wait a few days. Dale is a splendid fellow and&lt;br /&gt;has seen a great deal of service under Grant, Sherman + Sheridan&lt;br /&gt;Was wouded and taken prisoner at Vicksburg and has since been&lt;br /&gt;in all the Valley battles under Crook, Hunter, + Sheridan,&lt;br /&gt;I got a months pay this morning and I will send you the note&lt;br /&gt;now to be applied on the note I gave you. It is better interest&lt;br /&gt;than I paid you, in fact is the best of anything but the &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;five twenties&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lou can get the coupons cashed in Litchfield I presume. Dont expect&lt;br /&gt;me to flood fore with money, probably I shall send for some soon&lt;br /&gt;but I would rather not break this bill, for I wish you to have it&lt;br /&gt;and the interest. Besides I have plenty of money yet. Horace.&lt;/p&gt;</text>

              <text>Pleasant Valley MD Oct 16 [1862]&#13;
&#13;
Dear Father&#13;
Not receiving any &#13;
answer to my last letter I thought but&#13;
that I would wright again and &#13;
let you know that I am well&#13;
and have been well since I have&#13;
been out here, with the accep-&#13;
tion of a looseness in the bowels&#13;
which has plagued me a good&#13;
deal. it is on account of the&#13;
muddy water that we have&#13;
to drink most all of the Reg&#13;
iment are the same way.&#13;
since I wrote last we have&#13;
been on the march most of&#13;
the time going from one place&#13;
to another without stopping&#13;
but one night at a time in&#13;
any place since we left Va&#13;
&#13;
[page 2]&#13;
we have marched in all about&#13;
one hundred miles going from&#13;
ten to fifteen miles in a day&#13;
some days we would not go &#13;
over six. I thought at first it&#13;
would go hard with me but&#13;
after I had gone a few miles&#13;
I did not mind it at all Just&#13;
as lieves go as not. I find that&#13;
stout rugged men are the &#13;
first to give out we have two&#13;
great stout fellows in the&#13;
company who have always &#13;
worked in the field and were&#13;
used to hard labor, and looked&#13;
as thought they could stand&#13;
most anything. they gave out&#13;
among the first. they are now &#13;
on the sick list and have&#13;
been for two or three weeks.&#13;
we have not lost but one&#13;
yet. poor Ed Addams he&#13;
&#13;
[page 3]&#13;
was taken sick in Va and I&#13;
think if we had only had a&#13;
deasant surgeon he might &#13;
have been with us now.&#13;
when we had orders to leave &#13;
Va and go join MacClellan&#13;
he was left behind to come&#13;
on in the ambulance wagon&#13;
we did not hear from him&#13;
for five days and then&#13;
herd that he was worse&#13;
and had been sent to the&#13;
Hospital. the next we hear of&#13;
was that he was dead he was&#13;
a good boy and was liked much&#13;
in the company. we have&#13;
three more in the Hospital&#13;
now. we are now encampt &#13;
in a pleasant valley between&#13;
two mountains it is quite&#13;
a nice place. if we only had&#13;
something to protect us&#13;
&#13;
[page 4 -- blank]&#13;
&#13;
[page 5]&#13;
from the cold and rain&#13;
we have no tents. left them &#13;
all in Va the boys take their&#13;
rubber blankets and make&#13;
a little tent of them but&#13;
they dont keep out the rain&#13;
or cold. another thing is&#13;
we cannot get anything&#13;
to eat we have lived on hard&#13;
tack and coffee for more &#13;
than a week. some of the&#13;
bread you put on the stove&#13;
and there will be worms&#13;
half an inch long crawl&#13;
out. that is what makes &#13;
the soldier fat. we once had&#13;
some pork some and after&#13;
it was cooked it stank so&#13;
that we could not go near&#13;
it. the Colonel ordered it&#13;
to be buryed immediately&#13;
&#13;
[page 6]&#13;
our Quarter Master has now&#13;
bought some cattle and we&#13;
will soon have a little beef.&#13;
we were within a few miles&#13;
of the great battle at Antetam&#13;
could hear the guns quite &#13;
plain. this morning we &#13;
heard heavy fireing in&#13;
the direction of Harpers&#13;
Ferry it lasted about three&#13;
hours. have not yet heard&#13;
where or what it was we&#13;
shall know to night most&#13;
likely. I saw General George&#13;
McClellan. he is a fine&#13;
looking man and is a &#13;
smart man to. there is &#13;
not a soldier in the whole&#13;
army but what speaks in&#13;
the highest favor of him&#13;
we are now under him&#13;
and Burnsides. and&#13;
&#13;
[page 7]&#13;
are now preparing to go &#13;
into action before long&#13;
we are drilled eight hours&#13;
every day and have now got&#13;
so that we drill tip top they&#13;
are enlisting men now for the&#13;
Regular Army they give men&#13;
one Hundred Dollars bounty&#13;
and forty days furlough to&#13;
enlist there has been som&#13;
in our regiment that have&#13;
gone. I had rather stay where&#13;
I am and come home when&#13;
the war is over. give my love&#13;
to Mother and write to me&#13;
I dont care if it is no more&#13;
than two or three lines&#13;
I am not so far gone but a &#13;
little good advice from my&#13;
Father would do me some&#13;
good.&#13;
Direct the same &#13;
as the piece of paper is&#13;
From your most &#13;
affectionate son&#13;
Tom&#13;
