Interesting handwritten letter dated September 13, 1862, written from “Camp near Danville,” featuring a patriotic “Bird of Freedom” eagle letterhead. The writer describes recent movements and reflects on the aftermath of a recent engagement, noting uncertainty about whether Confederate forces will fight again or withdraw from the state. He references the division’s limited involvement in the prior action and indicates continued pursuit, providing a firsthand glimpse into Union operations during the Kentucky Campaign.
