| Summary: | In the letter Faulkner discusses money to be collected from soldiers, which will be sent to a committee of the soldiers' aid society for Autauga County, Alabama, for the purchase of new uniforms. The men had originally agreed to send a certain amount, but the committee has asked for more: "Just say to our commity that the Autauga Guards flatly refuse to pay more than fifteen Dollars of the first commutation funds received for the cloathing they expecte'd to receive when the matter was voted upon." The soldiers are "very mutch out of humour," but Faulkner stresses that "we will all have to excuse the boys for they have suffered with sickness very mutch." He also assures Hall that "should we get in battle and any one of our company get killed or wounded we will report fourthwith." A transcription is included. [Original spelling retained.] |
