A fine content A.L.S. of Levi Lewis of the 35th Alabama Infantry, 4pp. 4to., Marshall City, Miss., Oct. 17, 1862, in pencil to his mother on brown letterhead, describing the Battle of Corinth. In part: ‘…I got to camp on Sunday and drilled a week and then we were ordered…to march to rout some Yanks. We started at 4 in the morning and marched till 9 when we thought we’re about to come on them, when they run, and we pushed after them and run them till the evening. Our Cavalry stopped them and we double quicked there and formed a line of battle and moved on and found that the Yanks had gone. We went some 2 miles and camped till morning. Then we went back to camp…then started to Corinth and marched till Friday when we commenced the attack and fought all day and run the Yanks in their breastworks and we camped on the Battlefield and the next morning the fire was open [sic] at 4 o’clock and we were drawn up in line of battle and marched in front of a Battery, and they commenced shelling us and we were ordered to lie down and there we lay and the shot and shell flying over us thick. If our Regiment had been standing up, I don’t think there would have been one third come off. Though, we did not lose a man that day…as for the Battle, I guess you have heard all about that our Regiment Friday was in front of the cannon, and a shell was thrown and bursted [sic] into our Company and killed two and knocked down six more and then we were ordered to charge, and we soon silenced that piece and captured it. The General says that we, the 35th, save him, and that is great praise for us…’. With original transmittal cover, very good.
