In the collection of Joseph B. Gorsuch, Captain and Provost Marshal 13th Corps, Army of the Tennessee. Letter written in pencil. The author states "I have taken a fever from the poison of the southern malaria and become very weak. I am getting better now I have no idea when I will be able to go now, so it would barely be worthwhile for you to remain on my account... Tell Col [Warmouth] that I tried to write a letter to the General but was unable..." A note on verso, also in pencil, indicates that the author should return to his regiment, and that the Provost Marshal will send him there if his furlough has expired. Two dockets cite Gorsuch's home town, Hamilton, Butler County, Ohio. Docketed once in blue ink and once in black ink. Date inferred from dockets. Note most likely written by Joseph B. Gorsuch.
