- Lot Description
Confederate soldier’s 2pp. letter written by John W. Cotton of the Alabama 5th Cavalry, Datelined Chattanooga Tn, August 3, 1862, in part “I left the hospital yesterday evening. ... I never want to be in the hospital again. Men are dying there constant. There was about a dozen men died while I was there, three of our own men, and we have two more that I think will die-and lots more sick but I don't know how many. ... We are now ordered to Louden Tennessee ...I don’t want you to grieve too much over the death of our little daughter. We must only hope she is better off than we are. But oh! how I miss her when I come home. She will not be there to fondle on my knees with the rest of the children. ... I hant much to write to console you for I am in too much trouble myself. ... If it were not for the love of my country and family and the patriotism that burns in my bosom for them, I would be glad to come home and stay there. But I know I have as much to fight for as anybody else. ...â€
