Scope & Content |
The first image is Bernard's prospectus receipt for Volume II War Talks of Confederate Veterans which says the signer will pay $1.50 for the book when it is printed and ready for delivery. The second image is Hull's letter, in which he states he is pleased to hear from Bernard, and he desires the 2nd volume. He reflects on the names of battles in which he took part. He remembers when 32 years ago his command received the wrong order and went to a different location than the one to which they were supposed to go. His command, Stannard's Brigade, Martindale's Division, 18th Corps (U.S. Army), arrived at New Cold Harbor the evening of the 1st of June, instead of in the morning. He then reflects on later days in June mentioning that on the 18th, at the place where the "Yanks" built Fort McGilvery, he quit. (It is not known what he means by this as one cannot "quit" the Army). He then states he will give the prospectus to the local Confederate Veterans Camp. |
