Description

From May 1861 to June 1862 John Hall served in the 6th Alabama Infantry. In the letters he discusses packages recently received from home; clothing and supplies the men still need; sickness in camp ("I am confident that they would soon be well if they had a good physician to see them"); a replacement for the previous cook in his mess ("I wish you would try to send us a negroe [sic]"); and payment the men hope to receive ("I reckon we will get ours tomorrow. They are paying in Va. money and I understand large bills which I am afraid we will find some difficulty in having changed"). A transcription is included.
