Hammond, Horace J., fl. 1862-1865

Autograph letter signed

Title: to Eleanor Hammond

Hammond to wife. Although the month of the letter is not known, the letter was likely written on August 22nd, 1864 based on what is known about Hammond's whereabouts during the war and that of the 189th New York. Hopes letter finds her in good health and good spirits. Talk of joining a regiment and going to Elmiru [Elmira]. Consoles her, reminding her that he would only be gone for a little while. With the new regiment, he will get to go to Harpers Ferry. Will send home money from his pay as soon as he can. Not much to write about. Richard Collins will "be up on Saturday," so she should get…

Autograph letter signed

Title: to Eleanor Hammond

His captain has been looking to get into a new regiment. Samantha wrote that she wanted to come visit if he was not coming home any time soon. "If they come if you want to come," she is welcome to come. Warns that it is very hard to get down to his location because they would not be able to get close to the camp until dark. James Slayton is coming, and he can let her know if it is possible to visit. Wishes she would go to Avoca and see…

Autograph letter signed

Title: to Eleanor Hammond

All are "enjoying good healthy and laying in camp." Not much to do. Wishes he could see her and the rest of his family. Thirty miles from Petersburg. Draftees and substitutes get sent to the front line immediately. Has been "some time" since he heard from her. Wants to know if she has received the money he sent her. Has been cooling down significantly in the area. "It is Sunday, but I can't see [any] difference; it is all the same here." Wants to know if she has dug the potatoes yet. Most of the soldiers in the regiment are from Elmira. There are lots of gunboats on the James River across…
