Solomon G. Heaton Correspondence

Title

Solomon G. Heaton to ?

Creator

Heaton, Solomon G.

Date Created

1862-12-10

Description

Heaton writes that he is sending money home ($20), and that he needs $1 in postage stamps sent to him (the rest can go toward Lucy's board at school during the winter). His camp site, Belle Plains, Va., lies just east of Fredericksburg, the site of a major battle (Dec. 11-15, 1862) that began a day after Heaton wrote this note; hence, the need to be ready with sixty rounds of "catridges."
