Description
CIVIL WAR SOLDIER'S ORDERS WITH LOVE POEMS
Ironic content D.S., 1p. 8vo. Staunton, sep. 15, 1864, notifying a Captain Karr, commander of Camp Kemper, that a number of soldiers will be reporting to him. However, the entire sheet, front and back, has been filled with romantic poetry, possibly written by Karr. One is entitled "The Carrier Love", in part: "Fly away to my native land sweet love/ Fly away to my native land/ And bear these lines to any lady love/ That I have traced with a feeble hand..." An interesting juxtaposition between military protocol and one soldier's individual feelings. Minor foxing, else very good.
