War-date Union soldier's letter, 3pp. 8vo., written by Pvt. Walter L. Case, Co. H, 31st Ohio Vols., "Gen. Hospital, No. 19, Ward 2nd, Nashville, Tenn., Mar. 7, 1864," to William Newton Fulton, in part: "…I haven't been with the regt since the battle of Chickamauga. I was wounded through the right breast and was taken prisoner and kept ten days and paroled and sent to Chattanooga and from there to Nashville and got a furlough for 20 days…most of the men have reenlisted and are now at home…I am not fit for service again. I am rather unlucky…oh we had a big time at at home with the Butternuts. We cleaned them out wherever we found them…please write me and let me know what has happened and who has been married…and the way the old maids are walking into the dry goods is a sign there is something afloat…Walter Case. Hospital No. 19, Ward 2nd, Nashville, Tenn…". The original stamped transmittal cover is included. Near fine.
