Scope and Contents note
General Horatio Wright’s letter of February 12, 1865, written probably while the VI Corps was on the front lines at the siege of Richmond, consists of four pages written on one folded sheet of stationery with the letterhead “Headquarters Sixth Army Corps.” In the letter, Wright seeks to clarify an apparent misunderstanding with the recipient (“My dear Col”[onel?] and discusses family news from a recent leave of absence; he then notes current movements of troops, and expresses admiration for a soldier named McClellan and hopes that McClellan will soon receive a promotion.
