Parrott, Henry C.
Autograph letter signed
Title: to Sophia Parrott
Henry's "teams were pronounced the best in the Corps by Maj. Gen. Stanley." He commands sixty men of his choice from the regiment. He expects they will stay here for a few months. John was killed and all the men miss him. Henry will bring John's wife John's remains if he can get leave. He remarks that "to be a soldier is to deny yourself of a great many things you would like to do and can not."
