Civil War Letter 1862
Camp near Tupelo, Miss
July 10, 1862
Dear Madam,
Your favor of the 20th. of June, wherein you ask relative to the death of your brother, John F. Gibson has just come to hand, in answer would state that he died on the 21st. of May in the Camp Hospital, near to his own Company Quarters, but the Company was absent on Out Post duty at the time. Mr. Tenison was in Camp and attended to his burial,
he lies in the Solders grave yard in Corinth, a board at his head with the initials of his name, the letter of his Company, and number of his Regiment marks his grave. I would, Madam if I could do so with truth, console you with the assurance that your brother was well attended during his last illness, but as you truly remark, he met the usual fate of the soldier in our army, the poverty of our Government, the scarcity of the proper medicines, and the want of nurses, has been the cause of the death of many of our Gallant Men. Our Regiment three months since numbered 950 men, now we can only turn out for duty 180 men, and can you wonder at the disease and mortality, when you learn that out of 28
days we were on Out Post duty 24 under fire of the Enemy, most of that time, without cover at night, even without blankets, spending night after night in the cold dew, with but small intervals of rest or sleep, nor is our Regiment or my Company an exception as to health. A Regiment near us the 41st. Miss. Volunteers in two months service, has reduced on of Corinth I was compelled to send my Brother in Law to the Rail Road Depot, he stayed on the platform that whole day and night, he with many others of the sick were thus left, many of them died from the exposure and I regret to say he also died from the same cause, he was my Wife's only surviving brother and my "best friend". You will naturally ask why I was not with him to aid and assist him, my answer is, every well man of my Company as well as myself were on Out Post duty covering the retreat of our Army from Corinth, those at home can never know one tithe of the suffering of those in the field in this unhappy war.
At the battle of Farmington I had seven of my men wounded by my side, some of them slightly, but still one of them died and four of the balance are still unfit for duty. You must not think that the privates are the only men who suffer, far from it. Except in the higher grades, we are all on the same level. You will excuse this long letter, but I am aware that the relatives of soldiers in the field, sometimes think that Company Commanders could do more for the health of their Command than they do, but I assure
you that in this Army we are powerless -The health of the Army is now improving and we will soon again meet the Enemy in the field, when I trust we will avenge the deaths of our Brothers who fell in battle or were poisoned by the filthy water and corrupt atmosphere of that foul place called Corinth.
In the meantime the friends and relatives of those who have fallen must look to that Power above who alone, in these trying times watches the last hour of the dying soldier, for consolation.
Mr. Tenison will be found at Dr. Mays on Black River, and will give you any information concerning the last hours of your brother.
I Remain Madam
Yours respectfully
