Notes

April 28, 1862 was a Monday. The letter appears to be addressed specifically to William Wilson since Frank and William’s wife ‘Mard’ are mentioned in the letter. Capt. Wilson and the 2nd PA Cavalry had moved from Baltimore to Washington, D.C. William P. Wilson practiced law in Centre County, PA.
