During the Civil War, James Hall served as a captain in Company K of the 24th Alabama Infantry regiment. In the letter he discusses upcoming troop movements and the new soldiers with whom he will probably be stationed: "It is probable that we will be thrown into a regiment which we learn is composed chiefly of low Irishmen and that several have killed their own sentinels for halting them and not letting them pass out of camp at night. Our case is a hard one. But, I have resolved that wherever God and...our Government directs there I will go cheerfully." He also sends news of a mutual acquaintance who has been ill. A transcription is included. |
