Camp Correspondence From Madison July 14 1861 Long Letter
A long camp letter from Madison on July 14 1861 describes steady rain, a dry tented camp, and a divine service with the regiment band. It notes the Sth regiment being mustered into service, the exam process, two men set aside for further checks, and Captain McIntyre praising the company. It mentions sickness reducing numbers, one man Timothy D Skinner declining to serve, pending uniforms and state pay, and eager anticipation to join Grand Army duties. Major Larrabee's horse arrival, lake bathing, and health of the company are noted, with a Chicago pass along and praise for Racine camp facilities and commissary work. It ends with observations on the 4th regiment’s camp, pay, and provisions, plus local color about Regimental life.
