The Camp Anderson Letter From June 1861 Dispatches
A private Camp Anderson letter from June 34 1861 recalls leaving quarters in Virginia under intense heat and thanks providence no one fell sick. It notes Washington’s support for troops, a five dollar Havelo ck per man, and mentions Union plans for the 1861 extra session and Tennessee seating in the Senate. The piece discusses Scott Colfax interaction, Southern climate fears, and local New Orleans financial woes, plus reports on a bankrupted New Orleans and various war updates across states. It references Confederate military plans, three months and three years regiments from Ohio, and the stance of Northern regiments in intense June heat.
