Old 42d Regiment Veterans Letter From Chattanooga
A January 20, 1864 letter from Chattanooga notes the 42d Regiment’s impending homeward furlough after reenlisting as veterans. The author recalls harsh service under fire, scarcity of rations, and fallen comrades, pledging continued patriotism and sacrifice for the Union. They express hope for emancipation and praise the government, urging citizens to fulfill duties at the ballot box while soldiers finish the fight. Headquarters are likely Evansville, with furloughs planned for home.

Ruth Haynes battles mood and anger over a wilted flower and a quarrel with Charlie. In a sunlit garden, flowers, beetles, and birds reflect her inner turmoil as she replays the incident and resolves to mend things with Charlie the next day.
