Pair of war-date Autograph Letterd Signed, includes ALS by Isaac Daniel Romig (1836-1895) 172nd Pennsylvania, May 1, 1863, 2pp. quarto, and reads in part: “...the mail has been late over two days. The reason was while they are a fighting and the boats was all taken up with soldiers. There went 18 boats past here. Four gunboats went along up the York river and it was great excitement here in the fort at that time when the soldiers went by here and the next morning they brought an officer down here. He got killed the same day at West Point and yesterday he got buried here at the fort. And yesterday 4 or 5 hundred of cavalry came in the fort on errand and they destroy the rail road on some blast for fity miles so the rebels ant get their provisions in Richmond and Hooker will take Richmond now if he can although he got Fredericksburg already but had a great loss of men on our side and they got rebels - between 4 and eight hundred prisoners of the rebels at the fight at Fredericksburg. In that fight the loss of our men I cannot tell for I don’t know it...” Fine condition. Plus letter from his wife to him. (2 items)
