Letter, 21 Jan. 1863, near Fredericksburg, Va., to sister Mary, reports that "a band of minstrels has been organized and are now practicing to give Concerts; half of the proceeds to be given to the benefit of the sick and wounded soldiers," inquiring re the failure of his unit to receive all the money and clothing sent by the local "Soldier's Relief Society" and speculating that the supplies were being "taken by the Quarter-Masters and given out to us as funrished by the government ... making us pay enormous prices for them."
