War-date Autograph Letter Signed, “Bill Lindsay” 43rd New York, 4p. octavo, pencil, March 12, 1862, Flint Hill, [now Oaktow], Virginia, and read in part: “...Our grand army of the Potomac made an advance. Our Brigade is now situated on Flint Hill...The Rebel cavalry were here the day before we came in large squads. We expect to continue on our forward march until we come to the regular battle field, then Secesh beware...Gen. Porter’s Division lies at our left and Gen. McCalls at our right....Yesterday the Major of the 5th Wisconsin Vols went a short distance below the Courth House and brought back a rebel flag containing 7 stars two red bars and a white on, it was a pretty nice flag but looked like it had seen some tough times...” VG.
