Morris, Wilmor W., fl. 1861-1862
Autograph letter signed
Title: to: Susannah L. Morris; John Morris.
Morris writes to his sister about guard duty, and to his father [in a separate letter on the same leaf]. Wilmor tells his father that "this regiment has the most stri[n]gent laws of any in the brigade you must toe the mark or the guard house is your quarters." He mentions the Quakers of Aquatink Town who "won't have nothing to do with soldiers" but whose "girles likes to talk to the soldiers when the old folks" are not in sight. He remarks that writing to both of them on the same page is "the way to save postage."
