Jackson, Edwin, fl. 1862-1865
Autograph letter signed
Title: to William Jackson
re: He is over his fever and is well again. He also recently voted, along with the rest of his regiment. He proudly notes that only 10 or 12 of them voted for "the Traitor Little Mac," so his regiment is a "true Union Regtiment." He talks of building winter quarters in a better location. He discusses how all of the regiment's doctors ("butchers") left and that the new ones are much better. He mentions letters from his father and Mrs. Thorn. Written at Camp Bedford.
