Review:
These papers consist of correspondence and other documents related chiefly to administrative business of the 123rd New York Volunteers. In particular, the letters detail issues relative to enlistments, promotions, discharges, desertions, and casualties. Noteworthy letters include a copy of one written by McDougall on June 7, 1863, which details the Battle of Chancellorsville; a poignant letter of October 5, 1863 from a deserter pleading for his life to be spared; and a letter of October 12, 1863 from Major Tanner detailing the regiment's march across Tennessee.
