Benjamin F. Marsh Letter : July 27, 1864

Benjamin further describes his persistent symptoms following his apparent sunstroke. He also notes that their Captain was wounded and promoted to Major. Benjamin complains about an African American man (presumably), who brings the soldiers tea in the morning and to whom Benjamin pejoratively refers to as "Sleepy Pete." Lastly, he wishes he could have a home-cooked breakfast because their rations were very low quality.
