Gorman, Willis Arnold, 1816-1876
Letter signed
Title: to Francis M. Rotch
Discusses placement of New York troops, losses at Antietam, and reinforcements. "Now, since the battle of Antietam the loss...of my whole brigade, is so great, that I would ask that six companies for each of the two N.Y. regts might be sent me." Says he can easily make room for these new companies by consolidating old ones, which is acceptable to his men.
