- Lot Description
Confederate Soldier’s 4pp., letter with cover some cross writing) written by Western Berkley Thomas enlisted at Richmond, Virginia, on July 7, 1861. In March 1862, Co. K of the 10th Regiment was transferred into artillery. Three months later, Lt. Thomas was suffering so severely from the “stricture of urethra & unstable condition of the bladder†that surgeons judged him unfit for duty. On June 6th, 1862, Western submitted his resignation from the service to Hon. George W. Randolph, Secretary of War. Western died on 14 February 1863 at Chickamauga, Walker county, Georgia. Datelined; Pig Point 1, January 13, 1862 to his mother. In part, “ I cannot write on my chill day and the intervening day I feel worn out and weary. I hope by the use of quinine to escape tomorrow. It is certainly strange that we should be afflicted with the disease at this season of the year but I suppose it is the same attack I had before as it has been about twenty days since my last. ... Other corps are suffering around us with typhoid fever, pneumonia, and other fatal diseases while we have not yet lost a man. ... I see no prospect of peace at present and no hope of anything but Pig Point and chills until the war closes. ... I fear poor Aunt Luesa’s nerves will be sadly shocked by the presence of the Federal and Confederate forces in the blue grass country. I feel very sorry for the people of Kentucky. It is bad enough. to have a friendly army in the country but it must be very sad to have two hostile forces and the people divided too. ...â€
