CIVIL WAR LETTER FROM ALBERT HARTFORD WILLIAMS (Wi-91)
This is a transcript of a letter written by ALBERT HARTFORD WILLIAMS (Wi-91). His letter is dated Dec. 18, 1864 from South Petersburg. The 20th Maine Infantry Volunteers had been engaged in the Petersburg Campaign at Hatcher's Run, Virginia from Dec 8-9, 1864. He wrote this letter a few months before his death, on April 6, 1865 in Washington, D.C. The 20th Maine was engaged at Appomattox, Virginia from Mar 29 until Apr 9, 1865. He died of a "fever" at age 21.
Only the first part of this letter has survived. It is currently in the possession of Justin and Doris Williams of Freeport, Maine. They were kind enough to let me borrow it (Barbara Ann Estabrook: barbara54@juno.com), to make a xerox copy. The following letter accompanied it. I will indicate the identity of individuals by using my (Wi) system from the Williams genealogy (WILLIAMS FAMILY OF AROOSTOOK COUNTY, MAINE) which I have written.
The envelope was addressed to R.C. Williams, Freeport, Maine; postdate: Jan 27, 1956 11;30 AM Houlton, Maine: then sent Jan 28, 1956 Freeport, Maine.
