description Joseph H. Hall is the son of William Terrell Hall, grandson of Dixon Hall, Sr., and thus cousin of Bolling Hall. In the letter Joseph asks Bolling to help his brother, James, secure a transfer to the company in which his brothers are serving: "he was one of the 1st to volunteer and has never yet had a furlough....I will add, for myself, that I desire the transfer as he is only a private, and as a bloody Battles will be fought (probably) in Tennessee he will have no opportunity for distinction more than any other private." He also mentions the health of his family and slaves ("some of the negroes that have bad colds and a case of Typhoid Pneumonia") and his plans for planting crops: "What do you think of Planting cotton as a part of a crop for market? the law allows a little to be planted. is there not abundant reasons to make provision and only enough cotton for home use?" A transcription is included.
