(REVOLUTIONARY WAR)
Archive Pertaining To Asher Merrell Soldier Killed During American Revolution To Ensure Payment For His Service
CONTINENTAL ARMY SOLDIER. This archive consists of the following three items related to a Continental Army soldier Asher Merrell who was killed: a.DS. 1 pg. 4 x 6. January 12 1781. Hebron. Document signed Sam Gilbert Jus Pea and addressed To the Committee of Boy Soldiers: This may certify that Asher Merrell of Hebron is Natural Guardian & Parent to Asher Merrell Jun of Hebron a Soldier in the Continental Service Deceased he was a Minor and Under Age at the Time of his Death. b.DS. 1 pg. 4 x 6. January 12 1781. Hebron. This is a document signed by two Selectmen of Hebron: This may certify that Asher Merrell Jun. Served in Connecticut Line in the Continental Army in Col. Chandlers Regiment before the fifth of Jany 1780. c.DS. 1 pg. 6 x 8. March 10 1781. Hartford. A printed document indicating payment of Nine Pounds eight shillings & five pence as the payment due since January 5 1780 to Asher Merrell Junr Deceased and Paid to Asher Merrell Parent. These three documents reflect the documents certifying the death of Asher Merrell and his payment for his service in the Continental Army. Ensuring timely payment for casualties of war has long been a difficult task especially in the 18th and 19th centuries with limited records and overwhelmed governments. So a positive resolution in 14 months was relatively fortunate for Merrells family. Additionally Merrell fighting as an underaged soldier reflected a common occurrence in an era before verifiable birth certificates and the existence of a Committee of Boy Soldiers reflected such regularity. All three documents are in very good condition and unique windows into wartime bureaucracy during the American Revolution. Included with the archive is a typed page with additional contextualization. unknown

(CIVIL WAR SOLDIER DIARY)
1862 Diary Of Civil War Soldier Sergeant Edward Allen Goodwin Killed April 16 1862
EDWARD ALLEN GOODWIN unknown-1862. Goodwin was the Sergeant in Company K of the 23rd Regular Massachusetts Volunteers. This is the diary of Edward A. Goodwin Co. K 23rd Regt. M. of. M. This diary is THE AMERICAN UNION DIARY FOR 1862 an annual published diary accessible and likely provided to Union soldiers during the Civil War. After a few pages that include a calendar and interest tables the diary provides space for each day of the year 1862. Goodwin wrote entries every day from January 1st to April 7th and none thereafter. At the time Goodwin was serving in the 23rd Massachusetts Infantry Regiment which was a part of the Coast Division under General Ambrose Burnside. Entries are handwritten in either pencil or black ink. Notable entries include: aFriday 7: Naval engagementplace lasting from noon till sunset. Troops were landedin the afternoon and evening. Bivouacked on Roanoke Island in the rain. b Saturday 8: Captured a rebel battery in a swamp. Took 3000 rebel provisions and the whole island wasSergt. Howard hurt his foot. W.S. Clark missing. Both entries describe the Battle of Roanoke Island fought February 7th and 8th 1862. Part of General Ambrose Burnsides expedition to capture key ports in the Outer Banks the battle first saw Union gunboats first firing on Confederate forts under the command of Henry Wise until Burnsides soldiers could land ashore unopposed. and the forts on shore engaged in a gun battle with occasional contributions from the Mosquito Fleet. The next day the Union soldiers successfully flanked the Confederate artillery and infantry defenders on both sides forcing a retreat into the Confederate forts. The forts were then individually taken with the Union suffering only 264 casualties and capturing 2500 Confederate defenders. c Friday 14: Fought the battle of New Bern. Took over 100 pieces of artillery ammunitioncamp equipment &c. I arrived at night in the tents of the enemy. This entry describes the Battle of New Bern fought on March 14th 1862. After first advancing up the Trent River General Burnside had his soldiers exploit the weakened center of the line of the defending Confederates under Lawrence O'B. Branch. This allowed the Union Navy to shell Fort Thompson forcing its abandonment and shortly thereafter the city of New Bern too. 90 Union soldiers were killed and 64 Confederates were killed and 413 were captured. d Monday 31: Sick all day. Took horses.e Monday 7: Saw Amoat the hospital. DeceasedRain in the afternoon. These two entries foreshadow Goodwins ultimate fate including his last entry on April 7th 1862. Goodwin would pass away in New Bern on April 16th. Having survived two major battles unscathed at least according to his diary Goodwin most likely succumbed to disease. It is estimated that 2/3 of Civil War soldiers who died during the war died of disease not in battle. His body was ultimately returned to Massachusetts and is buried in Mansfield. The pages of the journal are in good condition but the exterior of black leather is frayed and partially torn. It should be handled very delicately but its value as a lens into the mindset of a Civil War soldier is immense. hardcover

(WAR OF 1812 SHIPPING LETTER)
During The War Of 1812 An American Ship Owner Is Concerned About British Interception On The High Seas: It Would Also Be Necessary To Warrant Her From British Capture
WAR OF 1812 SHIPPING. ALS. 3pg. 8 x 10. September 3 1814. Philadelphia. An autograph letter signed Thomas Abrams to the New York City firm of Lynch and Aymar. Abrams wrote: it would be with great reluctance I could have the vessel go on almost an absolute uncertainty of obtaining advantageous privilege if any at all. However if the following tuns will suit I will giveorders to have her put at your disposal. The vessel being in the Chesapeake I presume it is there you would wish to have her go. The Schr. schooner to be taken from where she now lies to be victualled &c manned by the charter to be returned to a port between the Capes of the Delaware &light and Five Hundred Dollars paid for the run from which some deductions might be made if permission could be obtained for her to carry out a cargo of provisions. It would also be necessary to warrant her from British capture. I think it would be more for the advantage of the charterers to purchase her as she is an absolute sacrifice at the price asked. Please inform me by return of mail of your determination. If the terms suit I should like to know if I am right in my conjectures of her destinations. The letter has waterstaining and mailing folds and is in very good condition. unknown

A Union Soldier Mentions McClellan And The Resurrected USS Merrimack In A Letter Home
CIVIL WAR LETTER. ALS. 1pg. April 30 1862. Lebanon Church Pennsylvania. An autograph letter signed by a Union Army officer stationed in Lebanon Pennsylvania as Chief of Ordnance of the Pennsylvania Army. He mentions General George McClellan and his lack of movement during the Peninsula Campaign taking place at this time. He also mentions the USS Merrimack a Union frigate that the Navy burnt and sank in 1861 to prevent capture by the Confederacy. However the Confederates still raised and rebuilt the Merrimack in early 1862. They hoped that the ship renamed the CSS Virginia could help to end the Union blockade of Southern ports. Mr. Pigot and your note of the 26th to Harry R have just arrived. By it I was glad to learn something positive about you all having heard that you had left Lombardy in great haste & consternation. We do not know what to make of McClellans movements: or rather stand still. He certainly has a powerful and determined force in his way to Richmond; they are not to be conquered easily. I wrote you about a month since from Gloster Point. Since then I have been ordered as Chief of Ord of the Pena Army and now have my Head Qrs at this placeFrom what I learned just now from an Off just from Norrs you may expect to hear of the Merrimack very soon. Geo Tatnall says he is not afraid of their Torpedoes and I think you will find him soon in the York. It is in fine condition. unknown

A Union Sailor Is Eager To Come Home After The Fall Of Richmond
END OF THE CIVIL WAR. ALS. 4pgs. April 20 1865. Deadmans Bay Florida. An autograph letter signed Frank. A Union sailor writes home to his wife towards the end of the war just after the fall of Richmond. He tells her how eager he is to come home and start a new life on land while also mentioning the court martial of his former captain and some troubles with getting money hes owed. Dearest Mary I write this letter to let you know I am in good health and am getting along as well as usual. I left St. Marks on the 16th inst for a short cruise but I do not expect to capture any more prizes at all. As I believe now Richmond is captured the war will soon be finished. I tell you dearest nothing gives me so much pleasure as writing to you it is the next thing to seeing you except getting a letter from you I was disappointed in the last mail as I did not receive any letters from you. However I expect another mail tomorrow and then probably I shall hear from you. I hope dearest Mary you will not feel very bad and blame me because I have not resigned for to tell you the truth I am as anxious to come home as you are to have me come. Still I think it is my duty to wait a little longer and see the last of it. And I am sure you would like to have me do my duty to my country but there is no doubt now but I shall be at home before many months and then dearest what lots of comfort we will take together I am in hopes that when I do come home to find some business that will suit me so that I will not have to go to sea any more for I am tired of it at last myself and I am sure you would rather I would remain at home. I do not think I shall be able to go to Key West after all as most probably all these small vessels like the Fox will soon be sold as the Navy will have no use for them after the war is over. So they will not go to any expense to repair them. I have been employed this last few days painting The Fox My old Captain Baxter is being court martialed at Key West all of his officer reported him to the Admiral for drunkenness I think he will be dismissed from the service and he would be no loss. The Fort Henry has been in Key West these last three weeks and I expect she will be there for a month longer repairing but still I am not sorry. I left her for I never was so dissatisfied in my life as I was on board of her but I have enjoyed myself very much since I left herI still have great trouble to get the remainder of my Prize money. My Paymaster has wrote to the Admiral about it but has received no answer yet but expects to by next mail. He is in hopes to get it for me next month so I shall not be able to send any money home by the Union this time. It is in fine condition with very minor staining in a few places. unknown

The author discusses hosting evacuated children and the fact that Scotland has so far been lucky in avoiding air raids. Our first lot of 3 boys are no longer with us. One of them the nicest lad died last Xmas from appendicitis the other two took themselves off to a farm as they objected to being kept in order! But lately I hear they returned home to Clydebank. Whether we get others depends on the severity of air raids! So far Scotland has really been lucky in this respect. Of course there are some here & there. We hear the hum sometimes usually at night and have heard bombs exploding but quite a bit away! But you never can tell when it might not be a bigger affair!! It is wonderful how England is standing up to her ordeal & the amazing cheerfulness of people with it all. I have a cousin & her husband in London & she writes now & then saying that life is noisy in London! But she manages to do a lot of war work often taking it to their air raid shelter. But I believe people get used even to the sound of many guns!. Clydebank where the two remaining boys had returned home would suffer a deadly blitz the following year.

My Dear Wife/ It is with a heart somewhat full that I address you at this time but it is not because I have volunteerd sic in the service of my Country and bound for the seat of war but from the fact that money has not been furnished me according to promise that I might leave you in a better situation Capt E.B. Howe has given me 2 Dols that I send you by Mr Johnson as I shall not need it When at Orleans and Mustered under Genl Gaines I trust I shall do at every opportunity I should have called and seen you again but concluded it was best not I sincerely hope that you will not worry yourself but keep good Heart trusting that we will meet again at least one year but probably sooner for it certainly will not take 30.000 men long to make Mexico sue for peace on any terms we are now hauling out into the stream. Now my Dear Martha I sincerely trust that you will be a comfort to your mother by being dutiful and obedient to her during my absence and rest assured that I shall never disgrace the stars and stripes under which I rally in thought word or action believing that our cause is just and that we shall be protected by the God of Battles. Now my pet you must love Mamma by a good girl and kiss her very often for your papa and when you go to school try to learn so fast that you will be able to read my letters. P.S please file all the letters you receive during my absence. Your affectionate Husband Tho.s R. Heritage Sergant Johnson sends his best respects. Heritage was from Philadelphia; he was disabled in the war and sent home the following year. The letter is in very good condition with an uneven left edge other wear and a mild ink stain near the center. unknown

(WORLD WAR II IN THE PHILIPPINES)
An American GI Fighting In The Philippines Writes About The Conflict: Weve Had Casualties But One Has To Expect Some Especially When Fighting An Offensive War - The Japs Being Dug In So Well It Was Almost A Superhumanjob To Clear Out Them
WORLD WAR II IN THE PHILIPPINES. ALS. 3pg. 6 x 10 . June 6 1945. Philippine Islands. An autograph letter signed Claude an American GI stationed in the Philippines. He wrote on United States Army stationery to his friend John about fighting the Japanese: Dear John Was sure glad to hear from you again Thanks for writing. A lot has happened since I last wrote - but I won't bore you with very much of them - Have seen quite a bit of action. Mostly fighting n razor back mountains either covered with grass or off on another part of the island covered with jungle - It seemed we moved from one land to another - such a change in terrain - I mean like thick jungles vines & dampness at one place & the other so open one could see for miles and miles - even watch the japs digging in miles away with our binoculars. Weve had casualties but one has to expect some especially when fighting an offensive war - The japs being dug in so well it was almost a superhumanjob to clear out them - Rough going - guess I'm a lucky guy to be in the 60MM Mortar and light Machine Gun platoon - although we were hit some too. Lucky though just wounded were the boys. Well my Platoon Sgt. Went home with a bad ear - got infected someway or other and it really made life miserable for him - so now I'm acting in his compacity - I don't care much for the job but guess I'll have to string along until the end is over which I hope soon. Guess old Nick here was lucky - Had a few close one's too close for comfort. just hope my luck holds on. Guess as far as the point system goes - I'll be in the Army quite awhile yet. Only can figure out 69 points - Quite a jump to dig up 16 more And I've been in this Army 38 months already - Seems like half my life - When I get home I won't know how to act like a civilian - ha - I know one thing I'll have to learn to control my Army slang or else - I'm writing this in our rest area - although we aren't resting as yet - A lot of hard work to build it up & get it in shape first - Havent been her long - but it's a nice area - About like Fort Lewis. Pine trees - cold at night need three blankets still my pups get cold and now that the rainy season has set in it reminds me of Fort Lewis more so as we had so much rain there. Have one camp on a golf course - Been quite some time since I played golf - last tie in the Hawaiian Is. on the isle of Moloka! - More or less pasture. I'd send you a v-mail but as far as I know yet they go straight home with out being photographed and I don't think you'd want that kind. So am using the borderless airmail variety - No two cent overprints have showed up in this area as but if they do I'll remember you - Some of my other friends were asking about them too. Mr. Weltack has been sending me a first day cover now and then and I really appreciate it - as I have no way or time to bother with them. Hope I can continue after the war as I really get a kick out of FD. 's F.Fs F.AM's & all the other better covers. I belonged to the AAMS at one time and have been thinking about joining the MACC in the future. Its been a long time since I saw a good game of baseball- Was in 1939 I guess - In Chicago at the Cub park - The Cubs were playing the Giants at the time. My dad & cousin are great Cub fans but me I like to see a good game - The best men win - I used to play a little too. You know how young guys are - getting up a team & trying to lick the neighboring town teams a log of good clean fun. Well John write when you have time. I enjoy hearing from you. Best of Wishes Sincerely Claude. The letter is in fine condition. unknown

Irene sent one to her Mother she has received an answer to hers. SO I am wondering why I dont hear from you At that time every thing was excitement. All mails from here was stopped and now we have to leave our letters open. Irenes Mother wrote her to come home at once but we thought it was to big a risk to run. We had no idea that they were writing all lies until we got hold of an American paper. War was first declared here on account of the to be next king and his wife were killed by the Serbians. There is such a lot to tell but for fear it will never reach you I will only say the German Kaiser is not to blame. The Germans and Austrian Hungarians have never lost a battle we are not starving and there is nohere. All places of amusement were closed trotting was stopped the first of August. Things are beginning to brighten a bit now but there will be no racing until next year. Every available place is filled with wounded soldiers and we dont see much else but soldiers although there has never been a battle here in Vienna. I am so sorry about Marvin. It seems too bad he had to be taken. I hope you let Eugene and the rest of the folks know about us. We are still in no danger as long as we stay here. I am so sorry I cannot send you some money but it is impossible now. But just as soon as it can be sent will send. Remember me to all the ladies There was a call for linen for the wounded. Irene did two pounds out of my old linen. I thought of you all how busy you would be if you was here there was a ship load of red cross nurses and doctors come over some of them are here in Vienna. There were many Americans went home when your letter went. They were nearly a month on the way. I suppose it cost them a small fortune to go I dont think of any thing else just now. Will write soon again. Trust you are well and all the ladies also. Berdette & Irene sends love Ever your loving sister Libbie Tappan. An interesting first-hand account. It is in very good condition and the original envelope is enclosed. unknown
