Description

Civil War Letter from Nashville, Tennessee, Christian Commission, re: Christian evangelism of Civil War soldiers, and that General William T. Sherman's orders were stifling evangelism | Letter from U.S. Christian Commission dated April 1864 | 3pp. 4to., Hand-written (ALS), on "U. S. Christian Commission, Branch Office" stationery by Edward Parmelee Smith (1827-1876), a field secretary for the U.S. Christian Commission during the war who also became well-known for his dedication to the education of the freedmen. The letter, written in Nashville on Apr. 26, 1864, is sent to his brother, and states in part: " ... It is with great difficulty that I can get any freight except here ... at some points further on & at times in Nashville our work for the winter has been full of interest. At Chattanooga & Ringgold & Cleveland ... there is a very deep interest in religious things & many christians are shored up & many souls converted ... now our work is cut short by an order from Genl. Sherman refusing all passes beyond Nashville ... I wish you could spend an hour at his head quarters & see the importunates & his one answer varied only by the degree of snap with which it takes down all hope[?] of getting front. If the application is in writing the endore't. is 'Certainly not, W. T. Sherman.' If it via voice the reply is 'It cant be granted.' & sometimes an additional remark is thrown into the effect that Sec'y. Stanton or Abe Lincoln couldn't go front in such circumstances. After seeing two or three 'certainly nots' on application for passes. I made a written statement. .. of our work ... Webster chief of staff stating the reason why all matters not strictly military must be held ... till after the movement. Want of transportation is the great difficulty ... in this part of the country ... "
