I have seen the Civil War Letters at the Historical Society of PA but the only ones I’ve seen transcribed are those during the Gettysburg campaign. Are others transcribed?
Any help greatly appreciated by this old retired Navy captain!

I think it was the usual grousing, nothing surprising there. Obviously, Carpenter’s record demonstrated that Davis’ criticisms were not well-founded.

]]>Nicely done. I was hoping you were going to cover him, as I know you have much more information on him than I do. I can add a couple of things.
He was promoted to corporal and sergeant in Companies C and L during his year of service prior to receiving his commission (Henry, Heitman). I haven’t yet had a chance to check the muster rolls to find the exact dates yet, or when he switched companies.
I saw the Sidney Morris Davis commentary on him just last night, they’re on page 186 of Common Soldier, Uncommon War. There was obviously some resentment there.
