Eldridge, James E., fl. 1862-1864

Autograph letter signed

Title: to Clement Wood

re: Eldredge writes to his friend Clement, saying he feels sorry for him because Carolina, the focus of Clement's attention, left him for another man. He also writes about camp life, remarking about the daily drilling routine, and saying that his favorite duty is picket duty because he was able to go "up to a house near the line and sleep in a warm comfortable bed." However, he warns, "but if they should find it out I would get a lesson."
