Watters, Richard P., d. 1862. Richard P. Watters correspondence, 1861-1862 [microform].

Title: Richard P. Watters correspondence, 1861-1862 [microform].

The collection consists of the correspondence of Richard P. Watters from 1861-1862. The 22 letters in this collection were written from Confederate military camps in Virginia between June 18, 1861 and October 3, 1862. All but three were written by Richard P. Watters, 10 to his unmarried sister, Nettie, seven to his brother, Will, one to his father, Joseph Watters, and one, apparently a fragment, has no date, place or addressee. Three of the letters (September 22, 23, and October 3, 1862) were written by George L. Aycock, first cousin of Richard P. Watters, one each to Joseph, Nettie and Will Watters. In these letters Aycock tells of Richard's having been wounded at the battle of Sharpsburg, of several reports that he was sent to a hospital at Winchester, Virginia, and of his sending a friend to Winchester to see him, being too ill to go himself. The friend, Dan Miller, was unable to find Richard at any of the hospitals at Winchester.
