War-date Union soldier's letter, 4pp. 8vo., written by Private David W. Moser, 199th Penn. Vols., Richmond, Va., June 11, 1865, in part: "…I will tell you a little about a Grant review we had yesterday or was to have. The 24 Corps was to have a great review in Richmond and on the other side of the city…the whole corps marched out and went in the city and then it commenced to rain and it rained so fast as we all got ringing wet and we got within about a 1/2 mile to the place where we was to have our review and them we all turned around and come back again…all our fun was spoiled. If ever there was a lot of men that got a wading we did…we was like drowned kites and all our cloths is wet yet but I have a dry suite to put on…David W. Moser."
