Title

Handwritten letter from Daniel S. Keller to his father, Henry Keller, Page 1

Subject

Keller Family; Civil War

Description

Daniel is with the 148th PA Infantry in Virginia. Thirteen members of his unit have applied for furlough. Daniel wants a specific flannel shirt made by his mother or sisters, 3 or 4 pairs of cotton stockings, and a silk handkerchief. Daniel attributes the success of the 148th PA Infantry regiment to Colonel James Beaver who maintained discipline and cleanliness. Daniel's unit received several bugles for signaling for use 'when the voice cannot be heard'. Other Union regiments are moving out but they have not gotten their orders yet, however the officers are having rations cooked which is a signal for movement.
