Papers of Isaac Newton Rogers [manuscript] 1859-64.

The collection contains letters to his wife, 1862 June 29 (fragment), on a Union patriotic cover, reporting he was unharmed in the last battle (Mechanicsville?) and 1864 May 14 on the verso of a commissary circular reporting that his battalion has lost nearly all its guns and about 175 men (Spotsylvania?), but none of their neighbors, and that they still hold the lines, hoping that "today will wind up this fearful loss of Blood." Also of interest is a reused notebook, 1863-1864, containing records of commissary supplies, which was originally a roll book of Henry M. Ryan, a private in the 32nd N.Y. Infantry. The collection also contains a statement of a muster fine for Rogers, 1859. The collection also contains an account, 1863 October 25, for commutation of rations; a tax form, 1864 May 16, on the number of hogs slaughtered by John White of Orange County; two Orange County, Va., tax receipts, 1864 December 31 and 1865 February 1; and a blank requisition form for officers' supplies.
