- Lot Description
Confederate soldier’s 4pp letter, written by John W. Cotton of the Alabama 5th Cavalry, Datelined “Tennessee, camped to stay all night December 9, 1862,†in part, “We have been stationed at Winchester, Tennessee, but we left there yesterday morning. We are now on the march to Readyville about 15 miles from Nashville. There is a big fight expected there in a few days. If we have one, I expect all of our Battalion will be in it. There is some of our men running away and going home. There is four that went home without leave has come back. They were court martialed and put under guard for ten days and live on bread and water and deduct their wages for one month. There is two of our company gone now-Floyd [N.] Goodgame and McBarnet. ... Our army is in a heap of confusion and mightily out of heart. A man told me today in Winchester that there had been as many as 50 of their brigade deserted in one night. ,,, You never said whether you had hired Manuel (slave) or not nor whether you had sold your beef or not.Â
