(268-2) (268-4) 2 Letters: #1 From Hospital on Sanitary Comm. Paper...#2 ...25 Miles from Manassas July 8, 1862...Letter #1 is believed to have been written about a Lt. John E. Crain, who was wounded...\"His wound was a flesh wound-the ball entered about 3 inches or soabove the right knee, and passing downward and inward...imbedded within his muscles.\" It is signed Geo 3 (George III?). Letter #2 written 25 miles from Manassas, a moth before second Manassas. It is written from William, to his sister. He mentions celebrating the fourth (of July),picking black berries and cherries. He states he is \"Eager for the fight...\" and \"I don\'t want to come home, until I have one mighty good brush with them and clean them out...\" Very interesting letter from someone that probably has not had much battle experience, and will be in the midst of 2nd Bull Run, by the following month.BOTH LETTERS, FOR $79.99! ...S/H $7.95 (Contact me about combined shipping). Thanks...Greg
