War-date Union soldier's letter, 4pp. folio, written by Corp. George P. Jarvis [WIA Perryville, Ky., Oct. 8, 1862], Co. C, 3rd Ohio Vols., Murfreesboro, Tenn., June 22, 1863, in part: "…I rather guess that our great confederacy is getting into a…tight place but I hope she will come out all right although I tremble for the result. I am afraid Hooker has got more than his match in the person of R. E. Lee, but Gen. H. has surely got more troops than the said Lee…I fear that the north will yet fell all the horrors of war…our Government has made a mistake in not calling out the conscripts sooner…Mr. Lincoln's head ought to be better than mine…Old Rosie is playing thunder with deserters in his dept. I saw one shot day before yesterday. Poor devil he never knew what hit him after the guns were fired. He fell like a log and never moved afterwards. Three men have been hung here within two weeks for murder. I saw them also. They wont make much off of Rosie here…". VG
