War-date Confederate cavalry officer's letter, 2pp. 4to., written by Capt. Alfred B. Mulligan, [WIA Burgess' Mill, Va., Oct. 27, 64], Co. B, 5th South Carolina Cavalry, Charleston, Aug. 26, 1863, to his mother, in part: "…the city is quiet & tranquil today as if no enemy were within a hundred miles…there has not been any shelling that reported that reported in your [news]paper. In all probability there will not be any more shelling soon. No damage has been done by the shells excepting the damaging a few houses. No shells came above Wentworth St. The enemy attempted to capture our rifle pits last evening about 150 years beyond Wagner, but were repulsed…I met…Lieut. Buckner on his return to my Co. with several recruits. He informs me that Lieut. Langford & several others will go on soon…A. B. Mulligan." VG.
