War correspondence on supply failures and soldier hardships
In this Confederate era letter from Burnett, Gur Army Correspondence laments lack of adequate clothing and equipment for Union troops. It argues that the government should fund war costs through taxation, not voluntary donations, and condemns insubstantial press coverage. The piece contrasts Confederate shortages with Union demands, notes harrowing experiences in the field, and comments on public indifference and local ignorance.
