Autograph Letter Signed by a 3rd Massachusetts soldier, 12p. octavo, including 6 pages that are written on two druggist advertising circulars, from March 25-April 1, 1863, Elizabeth City, North Carolina, and reads in part: “...some 12 or 15 armed niggers, all under command of Capt. Sanderson...news of teh guerrilas... Capt. Sanderson & a nigger pilot went ahead with pistols in hand...the enemy was not there...they probably should have given us a warm reception, we found part of a keg of powder...at another house, here Co. boys went in & asked the woman if she had any eggs, she brought out a large basket full expecting that they were going to buy them but instead of that they filled their hats & hankerchiefs & left...the man...told the Capt but he had no command over them or didn’t care...” Much more. VG.
