At the time of this letter, Laird may have been a member of a predecessor unit (119th Indiana Regt. of the line?) to the 7th Indiana Cavalry Regt. which was formed in late 1863. He writes to his mother from Louisville, KY, concerning the recent threat posed by John Hunt Morgan's forces to the city. Hunt is supposedly returning to Tennnessee.
