Big Spring Pochahontas Co. Va. Sept. 4th 1861

Dear Father I received yuor letter last Sunday bearing date August the 19th which gave much satisfaction to hear from you all. For nothing gives greater satisfaction to us than to hear from home & friends. For our boys are always looking for something to come from home & when they receive any thing from home it seems to revive them greatly & when I receive a letter from you the boys are all anxious to see it in fact they hardly give me time to read the letter myself before they must read. I can only say that my health is tolerable good at this time. I have had a spell of the measles but I think I am almost well now at least so I can begin to go about again & I suppose feel as well as could be expected. George W. Strong has had the measles but is about well again. S.H. McClelland is very bad with the same at this time in fact they seem to go very hard with him & William Hooker has been very bad off with something like unto the flux but he is getting some better in fact almost every one of the boys that has not had the measles in our company have & has had the measles but I think they will all recover again by proper attention. You said you wanted to know something about our fair -- I will tell you something about it. For 62 men we get 45 lbs. bacon per day or 77 lbs. beef but we only get bacon once a week & beef the balance of the time, 67 lbs flour 6 lbs rice 3 and on-half lbs coffee 7 lbs sugar 1 quart salt is about our rations & then we get some soap & candles & occasionally some vinegar. You said you wanted to know something about or commanders. We are not attached to any Brigade as yet but are under command at this time of General Loring & the officers of the Regiment. I don't know that I can tell you much about them not knowing. There is only 66 men present at this time including the officers that is the commissioned officers & there is 8 men absent including officers & privates. But S.P. McConnell being appointed Comissary clerk & J.W. Gillispie being appointed Comissary Sergeant leaves our company 2 men less in drilling but they are still kept up on our roll which makes our company 76 strong that is 76 in number when all here _______ but if you will direct your letters in the propper maner they will come so do not fail to write & write as often as you can. I will expect to write every possible chance. A few words to Martha & Polly I want you to be good girls & do the very best you can it is true that we are along ways apart at this time But remember my heart is with you & I hope & trust that we will be permitted to see each other again. I want you to pray
for me & all who have left their homes & friends in defense of their country. So give my best wishes to all the children. I would say something more but G.W. Strong wants to say a few things to you So I will close but still Remain your friend and son until death

Letter of Milton O. P. McConnell to his father, Abraham Berry McConnell and his mother, Lucy Dougherty McConnell

March found the 48th encamped in winter quarters about eight miles from Guinea's Station. It appears that when Milton returned to camp from a visit home, he found himself with some problems over back pay with Captain William P. Harris. Perhaps he had not had official permission for his leave. A disgruntled Milton talks of joining up with Syvester McConnell who had left the 48th the summer before to recruit a company for the 27th Battalion of Virginia Cavalry.
He didn't leave. McConnell family history indicates that Milton died at Gettysburg. Captain McConnell also died there. According to the report filed by Colonel Dungan, Harris was killed "while bravely urging [his] men onward in the struggle" to take Culp's Hill.
The "William W. ____" referred to in the letter is quite possibly William Wesley Frasier, also of Company E and an original member of the Nickelsville Spartan
Band.

Dear Father and Mother

I seat myself this Blustery morning to drop you a line or two in _____ you will find that my health is good. Father I would have written sooner but since I came to this place I have been in no humor for writing or anything else though all of this may turn out for the Best I can't tell Well in the first place I did not leave home satisfied without the Ballance of our company Secondly as we came down on the train we met our Battallion going home and they told us that we could Remain with them if we wished under and order from Gen S. Cooper, A.V. in s fair General, But as we had not heard or seen anything of the order before we did not listen to any Body so we concluded to come on and see for ourselves and sure enough we have seen. Capt. Wm J. Harris when at home told us that if we would come with him we should have evey cent of our money that was due us before we left But what do you suppose he has done. I will _____ a trick that I shall ever Remember Sure, when we got here they were Ready to draw money had the pay Rolls made off and signed by the Maj _____ the pay Extensd all that was to _____ was just to
extend our pay. But Capt. Harris would not suffer it done under the plea that we was turned over for Duty without any trial or without any punishment whatever & that we ought not to have the money that was due us. But had he done his duty we would have had our money in our own pockets. But the story is not yet told Capt Harris showing a little partiality (or as I would call it _____) he had H.T. Smiths pay extended and drew his money he haveing been at home as the Rest of us and about the same time that I had So you may guess my feelings at the present Well I think if we was at home we would see some men see _____ before we would come to that place We saw Capt. Gipson at Wytheville as we came _____ he told us that Maj. McConnell had swore he would have us Back to his Comd, well if he wants us all he is got to do is to send an order hear for us by some man. You may be sure we are not satisfied under the present circumstances. The Boys are
Generally well Wm W. _____ & B C Ramey are not well at the present. I think if Sylvester would just write to the War Department explaining the _____ matter he could get a transfer for me under the Late order from S. Cooper
