Transcript of Moscow B. Carter Letter to brother Tod Carter, Mar 1st, 1864
Letter from Moscow B. Carter to brother Tod Carter (in prison) Franklin, Tenn March 1st, 1864
Excerpt: We have for the first time during the Federal occupancy of this town, a Corps of nigger soldiers, on as I heard a soldier call them the other day, smoked Yankees quartered in this vicinity. I think there is but a company yet though. I understand it will be increased to a regiment. Among the citizens there is a general feeling of disgust, and so far as I can understand mens feelings, the officers and soldiers of the garrison are not a little chagrined at their presence.
Letter from M. B. Carter to Tod Carter. The letter was written to Tod while Tod was a prisoner of war at Johnson's Island. The letter is part of a larger collection available on microfilm as TSLA Mf. 1971.
