War-date Union soldier's letter, 2pp. folio, written by Pvt. Thomas J. Bond, Co. G, 2nd Ohio Vols., "Camp Jenkins," [Louisville], Nov. 29, 1861, in part: "…there is 3 or four boys sick with the measles…we have not seen any tents for a long time. The reason was that we have been quartered in Seseshion dwelling houses and they are better than tents but we are quartered in tents now. The 24th regt. arrived here yesterday…I saw Henry Robison [Robinson] from over the river…it surprised me to see him. The first O. V. is 30 miles from here. That is the regt. that Prentis is in. There is about 15 thousand men here…and a regiment arriving every day…we are drawing our clothes again…we get over coats, pants…and a dress suit…we are camped 3 1/2 miles from Louisville…I have made a use of some paper…I captured in a session house…it will last for a week…I was presented with a testament and a nice scarf by a lady of Louisville…Thomas J. Bond." Weak folds with light toning, else VG
