Civil War.
Manuscript Letter Signed by Frederick Steubing a Confederate Soldier to another Soldier.
One plain brown lettersheet 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 in folded format about 2 1/2 pages of text. Creased a small hole only affecting one letter some aging; otherwise very good. Includes a typed transcript. This is a letter from Frederick Steubing a Confederate soldier to J.H. Williams another Confederate soldier describing various events and combat in a humorous way. Steubing tells of a very merry Christmas parted that ended with most of the company getting drunk. "We had a jolly time of it Christmas here the biggest part of the company got drunk and we throwed in with them I got as drunk as a fool and you bet I was sick the next day." Steubing asks Williams for news of his friends and tells him about some of the action he saw on the Mississippi. "I got a good look at the old gunboats and you bet I heard them belch several times at us whenever we would shoot at the transport with our cannon and small arms. the cannon balls would cut down trees as big as anybody and you bet that the cannon balls would make boys hug the levy and eat sand." The rough brown paper used for this letter would seem to reflect the scarcity of supplies among Confederate soldiers. books

Civil War.
Manuscript Letter From a Union Soldier in Memphis Tennessee.
Letter sheet 8x10 4 pages 3 1/2 pages of text. Some very minor bends at edges a couple of very minor nicks creased a little slight aging and browning; otherwise in really nice condition. This highly legible letter to a father from his son talks about more than the "usual" life in an army camp. There are certainly routine matters covered like receiving letters from family members and requests for money but he also talks about his legal misfortunes. While it is unclear what issues are involved it is clear he has some military legal problems which he hopes to resolve by the time his regiment is 'mustered." The letter makes it sound like it is something important and probably related to his military standing. His father appears to suggest that he should take his case to Washington but the son decides to wait it out. The son Jon indicates that while he feels badly over his misfortunes he really feels badly for his friends and relatives. This suggests along with a comment about handling the impact on public opinion that this case was a visible one. He also complains about the cost of living in the South which he says is twice what it is in the North and indicates he pays $10 per week for boarding. That would seem to be very high when measured at a soldier's pay during this period. He does throw in a couple of comments about the war including that "Sherman too is still in successful pursuit." he also states that nothing is heard from General Smith "but his safety and success is a thing assured." books

Manuscript Letter Signed by John O. Woods to the Adjutant general of the United States Requesting Official Confirmation of a de facto Promotion to 2nd Lieutenant.
4 page lettersheet 9 3/4x 8 1 1/2 pages of text with docketing and commentary by several officials on the 4th page. Some soiling and aging to the last page a little toning; otherwise very good or better. The letter from Woods attempts to resolve what must have been a common problem in the Union Army during the Civil War which was the red tape involved in battle field promotions. Woods 'was mustered into the Service of the United Sates as an enlisted man. on the 29th day of July 1861 at Washington City D.C. by Lieut. Jno. Elwood. On the 14 day of Decbr. I was promoted to the 2nd Lieutenancy in said Co. vice Lieutenant Donaldson died May 15th 1862 but did not receive my Commission as such until 5th day pf March 1863 since which time I have actually performing the duty of 2nd Lieut. in said company and as such I have been on the muster and pay rolls for March and April. I would respectfully ask the Order mustering me out as an enlisted man being 2nd Serge. of said Company when I received my commission and ordering my muster in as 2nd Lieut. to date from March 5 1863. I have made efforts to be mustered but without success. " Perhaps even more interesting are the comments by several officials on the forth page trying to cut through the 'red tape'. books

Once They were taken but as the fellow a Lieut. grasped it from our wounded color sergeant a ball went through his heart and again they were retaken."

The text is primarily lists of nobility who remained loyal to the crown and whose lands were forfeited to the commonwealth for "treasons against the parliament and the people of England."
