Camp Life Reflections From Milroy’s Command and Drafted Views
A Civil War era letter reports marching orders for tomorrow at 9 o'clock from General Milroy's encampment near Stanton and Petersburg. It notes unit composition including the 116th 110th 128d V. I. and 12th Virginia Infantry with Colonel James Washburn, mentions supply updates, press suspensions, and morale as troops prepare for potential action against Confederate forces.
