Letter, 1862.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/52896892

In a letter dated 6 February 1862, Pollard writes to his brother and sister from Washington, D.C. He writes that he obtained a pass to leave his position with the military for a few hours. Pollard traveled to Georgetown where he saw some batteries on the Virginia shore, including rebel forces. Later that evening, Pollard went to the U.S. Senate to hear the trial of Senator Bright. By a vote of 32 to 14, Bright was expelled from the senate because of a letter he had written to Jefferson Davis.
