War-date Confederate soldier's Autograph Letter Signed by Thomas W.G. Inglett, Company C, 28th Georgia Vols, WIA at Cold Harbor and Darbytown Road, 2pp. octavo, Camp near Richmond, Virginia, and reads in part: "...we came here on the morning of the first and our brigade had to charge the Yanks out of Fort Harrison. They had taken it from our men before we got there. Our brigade charged them in the fort and we got in 20 yards of the fort and they repulsed us. We lost fifty six out of our regiment and we lost five out of our company, four wounded and one killed. Chester Blitchington was killed and J. Dismuke, Wm. Manning, Wm. Williams [2 fingers amputated from right hand], Wm. Cliatt was wounded. I tell you it was the hottest time that I ever saw in my time. We had to throw up another line of works. That is always the way. Let the Yanks get the works from some of the little dandy city battalions and then send for Colquitt's brigade to take them back...I thought my time had come the other day but thank God I am spared, it seemed to me I could of fell out my cap and I caught it full of minies, and it was in an open field..." Fine condition.
