Title: to: Drazilla Churchill.
Churchill's regiment got into a brawl with soldiers and officers of the 46th Ohio Regiment after some of them had been drinking. No shots were fired, however, and Churchill expresses relief at this: "[I]t would have be a affle [awful] thing if we should of fired for we should have killed a greait [great] menny [many] of them and they of us."
