Feeling To Reenlist To Be One of Lincoln's 300,000 More. War-date Union veteran's letter, 4pp. 8vo., written by former Corp. David F. McGowan, Co. I, 47th Illinois Vols., Ellicotts Mills, Md., Dec. 22,1864, reading, in part: "…I will get used to this kind of life after awhile, but at present, it nearly kills me. Have half a notion to re-enlist and make on of the '300,000' more that Uncle Abe has called for. Don't you think I had better. I ought to be perfectly satisfied at home…still there is something wanting…military news is glorious. Thomas has given the Rebs a taste of 'Yankee Thunder.' Sherman is all right and I think will soon have Savannah…Dave." VG
