Papers, 1862-1897.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/31824358

Chiefly letters from Josephine Pollard and some family members to Captain Don Alonzo Pollard of the United States Army, 7th New York Infantry Regiment. Papers also include the sheet music, "Third Company Quickstep," by C.S. Grafula, and an engraved picture of Captain Pollard. The Correspondence, mainly from siblings, describes family life back at home to Captain Pollard who is away with the 7th Regiment. They often inquire of his health, as well. Also included is a group of poetry, chiefly from one of his sisters, Josephine Pollard, to him describing various events, e.g., the army's skill, a party invitation. There are also two letters included from another member of the 7th Regiment, W.M. Massey, asking to be given his resignation from the army.
