A good war-date Union soldier's letter, 5pp. 8vo., written by Pvt. Henry H. Fulton, Co. E, 20th Ohio Vols. [shot by Rebel guerrillas near Pine Level, N. C.,4/10/65; DOW Raleigh, 4/12/65], Vicksburg, Miss., Dec. 5, [1863], in part: "…we have news from Chattanooga that Grant has whipped Bragg and taken a great many presumers and 60 pieces of artillery and routed the whole army. I hope it is so. I am tired of this war and wish it was over…I was very much surprised this morning when out on inspection to see Mr. Oldacre and Dave Weaver walk up the hill. Oldacre is after his son [Henry Oldaker DOD 7/9/62]. He is buried three miles from here at Grand Junction where this regt was apart of last summer. Oldacre may stay three or four days and he may go back tomorrow…let me know something about that tavern in town. I have heard a good deal about it. Where is the Homer League Society now. Doctor Inskeep, Dr. Newton, Isaac Mathews and all the rest I thought they were going to tare out and burn down any body that would sell liquor in Homer…Henry H. Fulton." VG
