Confederate soldier’s 2pp letter, written by John W. Cotton of the Alabama 5th Cavalry, Datelined; Tennessee Camp Convalescents, Near Knoxville, October 8, 1862. In part “I am at the Convalescent Camp at Knoxville waiting for company to go with me to my Company. There is one of my Company here and I expect we will start to the Company soon-about day after tomorrow. I will write again when I leave here. I don't know whether we can get to our Company or not but we will go as far as we can. I understand that the army is still moving on north. ... They took my horse off and left me afoot but I have another one that belongs to the Legion that I will ride unless the owner comes before I get off. I had to go about twelve miles after him. He belongs to a man that is at home. ... They are furloughing a great many of the sick home from here and discharging them too very fast. But there is a many a one here that need it that don't get it. I am messing with Sam Plunkett and others. He ought to have a discharge. He has partly lost his hearing. ... I want you to pray for me that I may go through safe to my Company and through the war till we have moved the Yankeys back from our soil and peace is made and that I may return safe home to you all again. ...â€
