About This Item
Memphis: n.p., 1863. Letter. Good. Letter. Approx. 11.5" x 8.5". 2 pages written on lined paper. Folded, creased with light toning. "Hutton & Co., Prs" located in small print top left corner of the front page. Soldier writes; "At Present our armies are lying still or nearly so for the weather is too hot to make any heavy movements just now but it seems that the Southern Confederacy fairly trembles to its very center and I know that many of her soldiers are satisfied to quit and would like to get out of it pretty well but like the Yankees they must stick to it until their officers become convinced of a similar fact....they must certainly see they are whipped but their pride keeps them from acknowledging it." He also writes about a man hanged back home for stealing horses. He mentions the loss of a steamboat named "Alice Dean." This steamboat operated on the Mississippi and was captured and burned by the Confederates.
