Clapp, George, fl. 1839-1892

Autograph letter signed

Title: to Parents

Does not have anything to write, but it is a good way to pass the time. Is only barely able to use a pen. Hopes that "by the 1st of May… I shall be able to do something besides living in a Hospital." Hates life here. The Surgeon General and Governor are both to be here on the 22nd of the month. Does not know what to do with the blue pants. Grant has made an arrangement for a prisoner exchange. "We can look for Sid now." Thinks Charley Graves sold his place for a good price. Written at Dale General Hospital .
