ALS 4 pp. September 30, 1862 Letter from Charlie to Addie

Charlie writes to Addie from London Heights, Virginia, mostly of "political" matters, for which he apologizes at the end. He tells about politics within the regiment, the movement of enemy troops in the region, and their likelihood of success in the war. He also supports the abolishment of slavery and comments on the rumor that England has officially recognized the confederacy.
