We have read a letter from Cap. Duncan to F.
W. Johnson of this place, dated Sept. 21st in which he regrets his inability to
record a battle with [plosions?] victories &c.
He says he has the best company in the
Regiment any way you have a mind to regard it—he has more men, better men, and
the men are better drilled than any in the reg.; and he intends, if he has the
ability, to keep it in the pride of the Col. and his staff, and the envy of all
others. We hop his highest expectations
will be realized. Those who know the Company have no fears as to what will be
its record on any battlefield.—ED.
- Captain William M. Duncan to Mary Morgan Duncan, September 26, 1862
