Autograph letter signed

Title: to mother

to mother [Ann Smith] He is feeling better now and his shakes are gone. The "mounted rifles" [cavalry] have arrived, and brought a "secesh" with them. Another squad of cavalry had a skirmish with 150 rebels and was overpowered. Eventually the Confederates retreated and the next day they found 7 dead horses in a pit on the road. The Union does not have sufficient forces at this place. He tells the story of a traitorous preacher. Numbered in pencil "79."

Smith, Asa, fl. 1861-1862

Autograph letter signed

Title: to mother

to mother [Ann Smith] The regiment has received orders, and will probably soon be moving to Richmond. He was unable to break the bill from home. The Union boys "played some rough games on the ignorant Secesh, in the matter of money," using wrappers and papers marked with numbers as money. He hasn't heard from Wallace. He seems ready for battle, remarking that he doesn't want to fight, but if he must, the regiment will "give them a taste of our steel which don't seem to suit them."

Smith, Asa, fl. 1861-1862

Autograph letter signed

Title: to mother

to mother [Ann Smith] The regiment is now under the command of General McClellan. General Wool has stepped down. He says Wool was starting to show his age. They have no orders to go yet, but it seems to be coming soon. Col. [Peirce] is a "disgrace to the state, and the service" as he marches the men too hard in dangerously hot weather. Peirce was court-martialed but was returned to duty. Smith seems optimistic about the Union's battles. Numbered in pencil "81."
