Confederate soldier’s 2pp letter, written by John W. Cotton of the Alabama 5th Cavalry, Datelined “Knoxville, Tennessee October 26, 1862, in part, “Our Battalion is coming back here. One company has got back and we are looking for our Company every day. ... We were ordered to Kentucky and we went about a mile and stopped to stay all night and go on next morning. We had orders to start and before we got off, we had orders not to go and we moved back close to where we were before and near here. ...

There is more soldiers about here than I ever saw. ... remain your affectionate husband till death, John W. Cotton ...â€
