Cook, George B., fl. 1845-1865

Autograph letter signed

Title: to father

Writes in response to his letter from March 13th. Is well and it was good to hear from them again. Has been a long time since he has received a letter. "We haven't had any mail for a month." Nothing new to write about. "We have had a heap of hard fighting" in the past two weeks. Losses were heavy. Lost a man in his own company named W. B. Sport. Had a hole shot in his coattail, but was not injured. Heard that the news at home was that "I had my thigh shot off," but this is not true. W.G. Brown and W.F. Anderson are both well.
