Quimby, H. Baxter, Co. E, 9th New Hampshire Infantry, USA, to Henry C. George, 06 Sep 1863

Quimby, H. Baxter, Lt. Commander, Co. E, 9th New Hampshire Infantry, USA, to Henry C. George of Canaan, NH. Written from a camp near Nicholasville, KY, Quimby informs George of the illness of his son Carlos, suggesting that George visit him because "he has some symptoms which I think are rather bad" and that it is impossible to give him the care that he should have "in our present situation." [According to records, Carlos George died of disease at Camp Nelson, KY on 24 Sep 1863 - see research file for photographs of both George and Horace Baxter Quimby, who later escaped from Confederate Libby Prison and went on to a distinguished post-war military career.] [Envelope included]
