- Lot Description
Confederate soldier’s 2pp letter plus cover, written by John W. Cotton of the Alabama 5th Cavalry, Datelined, “Tennessee, camped to stay all night December 21, 1862,†in part, “We are now near Sparta, Tennessee. We will be some 8 or ten days more on the march. ... The news here is that the Yankeys are going to Mississippi river and all the soldiers is leaving from about Murfreesboro but Bragg's Army. They have give out fighting there. I can't find out what they are moving us to Knoxville for. I don't see no chance to get a furlough now but when I get to Knoxville, I will try to get a furlough. ... We have elected Bill Adkins for our lieutenant. He says he will do all he can to get me a furlough. He is elected in Baird's place till he comes back. ... You wrote to me to give you all the advice I could but I don't know what to advise you to do for the best-only to try to take care of what little you have got and see that Manuel (slave) don't waste nothing. I am in hopes you will hire him again for I don' know any other chance for you to make a crop.
