 | Letter to Henry A. Bitner |  |
Note
[1]
Based on the contents of this letter, we have determined that it was probably written in February of 1863. Donely mentions that Levi Maish had just been promoted to colonel of the regiment; military records show that Maish was made Colonel of the 130th Regiment of the Pennsylvania Volunteers on February 3, 1863 (see Samuel Bates, History of the Pennsylvania Volunteers, Vol. IV, p. 207).
