Creator: Henry, William Wirt, 1831-1915.
Date Created: 1864-11-02
Description: Henry writes that he has been detailed to guard a supply train going to Martinsburg, Virginia, which also had 16 paymasters returning from paying off troops at the front. He was able to get two months pay from one of them, who he was acquainted with, and he sent the money home in a previous letter. He is not sure he will resign yet, as he is feeling a little better, and his resignation will depend on where the regiment is sent for winter quarters. He doesn‚Äôt think there will be any more fighting this fall, since the Rebels will have to send to Richmond for more cannons and he doesn‚Äôt think they can be resupplied before the rainy season.
