War-date Confederate soldier Autograph Letter Signed by James F. Cameron, 11th Alabama Infantry, 2pp. quarto, Camp near Martinsburg, Gen. Longstreet’s Corps, September 25, 1862, and reads in part: “...I have arrived at my Regiment at last....I suppose you have heard of me being sick at Richmond. I had to march 125 miles on the turnpike road. I made the trip in six days. Our Regiment has been in several severe battles in the last month. John Steel was wounded. Clay Dunlap was killed by a bum shell. It never broke his skin. That was all that was hurt in my Company. The last battle was fought in Maryland. They say it was a desperate and bloody fight. The Yankees rallied all their forces and came against our men like a hurricane. Our men fought desperately against 10 to one and succeeded in driving the enemy 3 miles and our forces crossed over this side of the Potomac. ...Tell Jake the Yankees will give up the ghost soon and he may begin to think about that coat he promised me...” Fine condition.
