Clapp, George, fl. 1839-1892

Autograph letter signed

Title: to parents

Received their letter last night. "It is hot enough to roast a nigger alive out here." Everyone has sat down under a row of pine or cedar trees for shade or has created improvised shade with tree branches. It looks "like the town hall when they have it trimmed for a festival." Will use an undershirt as a shirt for now to cope with the heat. Heavy work in this heat is "no fun." Assumes they think Hooker was beaten "worse than Burnside," but "the corps was not whipped in the least." Sedgwick fought "nobly," and the 6th corps did the best of the entire army. The retreat after the battle "…

Autograph letter signed

Title: to parents

Received a letter from home on Saturday. Is frustrated that he has not received what he wanted, but blames it on his experience in the army where he has been trained to obey every order without question or delay. "This kind of life makes a great change in a man." Was glad to see Kate. Some troops are quartered in Washington Square Park while the draft goes on. Over 30,000 troops are now in the city, deterring many from rioting. His regiment was sent back to Fort Hamilton on Friday afternoon. Marched with fixed bayonets. Weather is nice. Has seen Fred Stockwell "2 or 3 times." Thinks they will…
