- Lot Description
Confederate soldier’s 4pp letter, written by John W. Cotton of the Alabama 5th Cavalry, Datelined, “Kingston, Tennessee February 2, 1863â€, in part “You wrote that you had hired Manuel (slave) again. I was glad to hear that for I was afraid you would not get nobody to crop for you ... The boys had just been out when I got back and killed two hogs so we have fresh meat a plenty. .. They say we are ordered to the Cumberland Gap and lots of the boys says they won't go. They say if the command starts there, they will start home. There is some leaving constantly. ... see how things are going on at home and see how Manuel is getting on with his crop and show him how to plant his crop and see to things in general. ... Lieutenant Haird has come back to us and Lieutenant Sterns has resigned and is going home. The Captain has not come back yet. He says he can't come back till spring and if they try to make him come back before spring, he will resign. ... I will tell you something of our trip to Kentucky. We had a bad trip of it. It rained on us a heap and snowed on us two days and nights and it was very bad traveling in the snow and the roads were very muddy. They are the worst roads that ever I saw. ... We saw no enemy-only some bushwhackers. We shot one of them and wounded him very bad and we took one Yankey recruiting officer. We got one man taken by the bushwhackers and one drowned and one shot accidentally but not dangerous. We had about 300 men with us. ... “
