Clark, Henry Letter. 15 November 1862.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/56336216

Clark writes from the U.S. Quartermaster Dept., Nashville, TN, to his father, Wm. H. Clark, Hudson, Columbia Co., NY. He indicates that the rebel blockade has just been lifted and they expect supplies and communications to resume. Commenting on the replacement of Gen. McClellan by Gen. Burnside, he feels that people do not appreciate the difficulties in managing a large army of raw troops. He believes that the people of the South are more committed to the war.
