John Booker, a camp near Yorktown, Virginia, letter to Chloe Unity
Blair
John Booker describes a new posting and notes that, since leaving the Orange
Court House, the troops are living without tents. They stay in the entrenchments
every other day and night, and are under constant bombardment by the Yankees. He
mentions that there is a good deal of sickness and many are being wounded. Also,
he notes that they have elected officers for the next two years. John closes by
asking Unity to direct her letter to him at Yorktown.
