Clark Lockwood to Mother, January 17, 1864
Item — Box: 1, Folder: 2
Scope and Contents
Written from Camp Stoneman, Washington, D.C. Describes a detail he was put on to ride some 45-50 miles to Chaplains Point and Port Tobacco to determine to what extent the river was frozen and if anything was being smuggled across. Mentions that smallpox has broken out in the camp. His regiment is on marching orders to be prepared to leave on six hours' notice, so he is not sure that his father would find the regiment if he came to visit. Asks for postage stamps.
Envelope postmarked at Washington, D.C., January 21, 1864. Addressed to "Mrs Jane Lockwood, Watkins, Schuyler Co., N.Y."
