He wore that same old hat all drooped down like a roosters tail in a shower. General Ord is a man about sixty-five (65) years old and his hair and whiskers are white as snow … While I had the chance of taking off my hat to the President today and would have liked very much to have had you here to have seen the military display as well as to have seen Mr. & Mrs. Lincoln but I would have given much more to have been at home with you where I could have had a quiet bath with you. We are to be in readiness to move at a moments warning with four days rations and the first Division is now holding the lines that our Division held yesterday …The Review did not occupy more than forty (40) minutes after Lincoln arrived although we had to ride the whole length of the line and then have the whole line pass us at the station of the reviewing Offi- cers … Well I am hoping to get a letter from my darling tonight when the mail comes and I think I had ought to as this is the second one that I have written … ” Usual folds.

Well I suppose if Warren has been drafted he has paid his three hundred and got clear … I should like to see John Yasker Rufus Yap and a few others … but I suppose that would commit suicide before Rufus should so that by that means Rufus would be exempt as the only support of a widowed mother and I suppose Gil Yasker would do the same for John if he had not money enough to pay for his release from the drafting rolls … we shall have no soldiers to help us finish the war except those that don’t have their pockets lined with gold but then a heart can as well beat beneath coarse garments as fine ones … I have staid out here long enough and seen enough of the war to be heartily tired of it … ” A few splits at folds.

It was where members plotted strategy and coordinated supplies in the during and shortly after the war. Some of the payments used to pay Judges, soldiers and patriots and such were appropriated from the sale of Confiscated estates of the enemy, the Tories.

In 1778, the Connecticut Confiscation Act was amended whereby the constable was not compelled to take household goods away from loyalist families, and all confiscated estates were thereafter brought before the probate courts, who were instructed to grant administration as in other estates. The monies used were then part of the spoils of war and brought into the treasury for use in payments such as this. A Choice item related to Tory estates signed by a Declaration signer. $2,500
