War-date Union soldier's letter, 2pp. 8vo., written, on patriotic stationery, by Pvt. David W. Sharpe, Co. B, 4th Conn. Vols., Hartford, [CT], May 30, 1861, in part: "…we came into camp Saturday afternoon and have been very busy since. When we first came into camp they did not give us enough to eat but we have all we want now…we are encamped two miles north of the State House. The day we came into camp some ladies presented us each with a pin cushion and today a lady brought us a basket of cakes. We have each received a pair of shoes, 1 pair of stockings and 1 shirt. We will…get our uniforms about the middle of next week. I shall get my picture taken then…perhaps I shall come home before we leave for Washington…David." VG
