During the Civil War, James Hall served as a captain in Company K of the 24th Alabama Infantry regiment. In the letter he discusses his recent bad health; weather and conditions in camp; and a report submitted against him after his furlough: "The case mentioned will prove nothing serious to me. The Coln as Capt. Sawyer wrote did not wish to injure me but was making a good many charges against Capt. Pierce and (to leave no stone unturned) he brought in his going home without being furloughed directly from Head Qrs. I being under the same head, caused the report against me in order not to draw distinction between us. I haven't the least idea that it can injure me at all, as I did not take a step without proper authority which I have in my pocket at present to be shown to any one. You may rest easy on that score." A transcription is included. |
