Andrew Malseed letter to his wife Eliza Malseed 21 May 1861

Perryville Md May 21st 1861

Dear Pet

I received your kind letter by the hands of Mr Moreton, on Sunday morning at about ½ past 2 o'clock I was waiting up for Dan & Ned to come home, and at the same time for the cars to come in from Philada. expecting to see Jim or some one come down to spend Sunday with us, and I tell you what I felt disappointed at not seeing some of the folks We are still at Perryville, but how long we shall stay we do no know. I received a letter to day dated 15th of May, which I should have had three days ago. I suppose it has lain in the Post Office in Phila. for we go to Post office every day here and are always sure of our letters. I send this by Mrs Barr she and Lieutenant Wilson's wife have been down here ever since saturday. Mrs Wilson and Mrs Barr had they known in time that they were coming down would have came for you to come down with them, it would have been a nice chance for you to come down, and I am sorry you did not know for it is about the last chance you could have to see us before the three months are up, but you will see me then if the Lord spares our lives. You need not be under any uneasiness about the three years enlistment, for I shall positively come home as soon as our enlistment is up. One month has passed and the others will soon fly around. If I should go again it will be in command of a good company of choice picked men. I have had offers of the post of Captain but have declined to say or do anything in the matter until our time is out. then I shall be free to act without standing in anybodys way or without the danger of offending any one. You must on no account say anything about this to any person whatever as I do not wish any one to know of it until I make up my mind what course to take and then it will be time enough to speak about it; but I do not intend pet to do anything more in the matter until our time is up and I come home first and see your self and know what you think of it. I do not ask you to judge now or to pass any opinion just let the whole matter rest till you see me again. I received all the things you sent me by Capt Barr and by Jim and in fact all you sent me. The last bread you sent we saved for cake. It was quite a treat after hard biscuit or crackers. I only wish I could afford to have it sent to me regular but I would not trouble you so much even could I afford it. You ask about my pay; well Pet. I do not know any more about than I did before we started. in fact I do not know anything at all, how much it is or when we will get it or anything else. One thing I do know I wish that we had it so that I could send it up to you. for I know that you will need it, as for me I do not have any use for money now except to post my letters, I had two dollars when I saw Father on the morning we started, and I borrowed two from Louis Caron, and have one left out of it yet. When we were at Elkton I spent the most getting things we needed. for example I bought 4 common glass tumblers such as you get in town for 38 cents a dozen and paid the very small price of 50 cts for the four, and every little thing we got we paid for in the same proportion, about 3 or 4 prices for everything. Now Pet I wish you to be sociable with Mrs Barr for if we get back safe we shall have to visit the Capt and Mrs Barr very often. he has been as a brother to me and I should like you to be intimate with his wife. we are together all the time, if he goes to take a walk any where, he hunts me out, and come Serg. we are going to such a place, wherever it may be is sure to be the word, and I tell you what we do have some nice walks, and quiet, sociable talks about when we get home again and old time and so on. I shall be glad enough when we do get home, for when we enlisted we came with the expectation that we were to meet the enemies of our Country and instead we are posted along a rail road to keep it from running away, though we have one thing to say if it had not been for our regiment there could not have been any troops passed to Washington over the Baltimore road at any rate. So we shall have that credit at least if we do not get any more. Well pet I must try and stop I shall try and write regular twice or three times a week at least or if I do not write so often do not think I am forgetting you or do not think of you for I am sure as long as I live I can not forget you any more than I can forget myself so do not say any thing about that any more when you write. I know you do not mean it when you say so but I do not like to have anything of that kind to read so long as I live you need have no fear that I shall forget you and should I be lost you will at least know the last thought was of you. Good Bye pet Good Bye, and just rest satisfied that I shall come home again without fail, if the Father of us all, will spare us to come. Good bye Dear Pet give my love to all the folks and receive the largest kind of a share for yourself and George and just imagine how many Kisses from

Your affectionate Husband
Andrew Malseed

P.S.
I have a chance to add a few more lines Pet as Mrs Barr does not go to day. You ask me how we live. well we have coffee and bread and butter and sometimes ham or salt pork or beef, and if we buy them eggs. for dinner three days in the week we have salt pork or beef Two days fresh meat and potatoes, one for each man, and the rest of the week bean soup. for supper we have coffee or tea; the tea, we buy ourselves, hard bread, when we do not have any sent by our friends from town and some cold ham or pork The hard bread I send you a specimen of some of it is very nice, but as a general thing it is mighty hard stuff to chew it is our bread, except when we buy other ourselves. The weather is very changable down here. one day it is hot enough to roast you and the next you have to bundle on all the overcoats to keep yourself from perishing with the cold. Look out for your teeth with these crackers they are rather hard to bite on unless your teeth are in good order We had divine service here on Sunday afternoon. David Kollick came down and assisted in the exercises, We had a most beautiful sermon, the Text was part of David's advice to Solomon. Show thyself a man. The speaker was most eloquent and a better speaker I have not heard for some time. Well pet I must stop for good now, so Good bye, Good bye, and god bless you
Your Husband

Andrew Malseed letter to his wife Eliza Malseed 23 May 1861

Perryville Md. May 23rd 1861

Dear Pet

I received your kind letter this morning by Louisa and was glad indeed to hear you were well and in good spirits. Keep good heart Pet, and I guess all will go right. I send you by Louisa a sample of Uncle Sam's delicate bread, or in plain camp talk government pies. look out for your teeth if you should try to bite them, these are the usual bread we get now, occasionally some water crackers. Give the folks at Fathers some for a sample. I send you also a very nice vail, I picked up out on the platform leading to the steamboat night before last, it appears a very good one, at all events it is not worn any and from its looks, I should think was new, it was nicely rolled up, I found it after the midnight train for Baltimore had passed through. Pet do not worry about money. I do not know how soon I shall get any, but as soon as I do I will sent it up to you by the first mail. I wrote by Mrs Barr this morning so I have not got much news to tell you except that we are still here and about as well as usual, my cold bothers me a little some times but nothing to speak of. Tell George, it is not much use to look for Pop, as I do not expect to get home again until the three months is up, but you can rest assured, I Will come then and no mistake, if God spares us to come at all and I just about guess shall stay there unless something happens more than I know of at present. The Train is getting ready and I must stop. Good bye pet good bye my love to all and as much as you think is your share for yourself and George from your affectionate Husband

Camp McClure
Chambersburg June 3rd 1861

Darling Pet

I write once more, and I suppose for the last time for a good while, as we are waiting for orders to march, every minute. We do not know certain where we are to go to, but we can judge pretty nearly. and it is generally reported through camp that our destination is Harpers Ferry and should it be, I expect we shall have some hard work to do. at least that is the impression now among both officers and men. should it be so, who will come out of the battle safe, our Father in heaven, only knows, and now Pet, should it be his pleasure who doeth all things well that you should not hear from me again on earth, place your hope and trust in him and think of me not as one dead but only gone before you, to that place where there is no more war no more trouble, no more parting but all is peace all is joy and gladness. Do not fret darling our cause is a just and I do believe a holy one, and it may be that the right will conquer without any blood shed, which I do hope and pray may be the case, not that I should fear to do my duty as a man and a soldier but it would be more satisfaction to have those who are in the wrong give way without blood shed than to have to yield after loss, (heavy and terrible in this case, almost brother against brother. I have waited patiently darling for ten or twelve day for a letter from you but none has come. I suppose they must have miscarried, but Oh Darling it would be such a comfort to have just one line, if no more, you do not know what my feelings are every day when I go to Post Office and see so many letter for others and none for Me. I got a note from Mrs Barr, a few days ago enclosed in one for the Capt. She tells me she has been down to see you again but you were at Fathers. Now Pet do not forget to go whenever you can and see Father and Mother and the rest of the folks, and always when you hear from us let them know. I should have written to Father long ago, but I have not the heart, when I commence to write the tears will come without being asked, and it is hard trouble to write at all, Tell them my not writing is not because I do not think of them not because I do not love them for a heart that beats more with love to his family does not exist than mine and although I may appear cold and selfish, my heart leaps with intense emotion for them all. Well pet I must stop. I can hardly se to write and I do not think you can read what I have written. Good bye darling. good bye. God bless, and keep you all. I read last night the Psalter for 2nd day evening prayer and it was of great comfort to me, being just applicable to our case. read it Pet. Good bye again Good Bye Pet my love to all and a dozen kisses for yourself and George, from

your affect Husband

Camp Wingerd
June 14th 1861

My Own Darling Pet

  You see I do not forget to write to you whenever I have a chance though I hardly know what to say to you now. I am hardly able to say anything I have not already told you nor anything you do not know still I feel this morning that I must write. We are just on the eve of starting towards Hagerstown, and Pet I may not have a chance to write again for some time but rest assured although you may not hear from me for a little while you will not be forgotten. Sleeping or waking the thought of you and the dear ones at home is always busy and I am sure I can not need to remind you of that. I wrote a long letter night before last which I suppose you have recd before this. I sent you a picture the other day by Mr Devine. did you get it yet. he promised to hand it to you himself and I did not say anything about it in my letter because I thought it would be such an agreeable surprise to get it without saying anything about it. I had just money enough to have it taken and I could not think of any other way to please you than to send you a shadow of myself just as I looked now. If he has not brought it down to you send up for it he lives No 1802 South Rittenhouse Square. We are all well about as well as usual and in pretty good spirits at the thought that we are, (that is those who may be spared! so soon to meet our friends and loved ones at home. I have not recd any letter from you since one Post marked June 6th with George's letter enclosed and to day is the 14th so you may judge how anxiously I am waiting for a line from you. I have hard hard times to contain myself when I see others with happy faces, reading good news from home and have to turn away without any myself, but I think dear you are not able to write just as often as I would like to hear and wait from day to day with hopes that the next mail will bring me the eagerly! oh! how eagerly looked for letter, But I will not be too impatient Darling I know you will write when you are able and I will try and curb my restless feeling and wait. I had forgotten before to introduce the bearer. Sergt. Benj Coppuck of Company K. he has been sick for some time and is sent home honorably discharged on that account. he will tell you anything you wish to know in regard to the Camp and our movements and how we fare and so on. The weather has been beautiful ever since we came here clear and nice but very warm in the middle of the day. Well dear I must stop. Again God bless you and keep you in his care. Give my love to all our friends and kisses for yourself and George. You did not say how Father was in your last but I suppose he is better or you would have said so, My love to them all at fathers and tell them I do not forget them and now Darling again God bless you and preserve you in his goodness and mercy is the prayer of

Your affectionate
Husband

Falling Waters Va June 19th 1861

 My own Darling Pet

 I suppose you wonder from the heading of my letter, where we have got off too now. Well I'll tell you we are down in old Virginie near a place called falling waters. so called on account of a splendid falls near by. they say the water falls from a height of 45 or 50 feet over the rocks making a beautiful water falls and that has given to the place a notoriety it could never have had any other way. I should have liked to had a chance to get over to the place and see what it looks like but I can not get it for we are ordered away from here tomorrow and as we start at daylight I thought I would write and have the letter ready for the first post office we come too. so that you may be posted as to where we are. we are not certain yet though we have a hint that we are to go to Washington if so we shall be nearer home. that is one comfort. We are posted in one of the most beautiful places now we have ever been in yet. right on the top of a very high hill or I may say mountain and surrounded on all sides by the mountains one rising above the other as far as you can see on every side. The Potomac river runs just along at our feet. or rather about five or six hundred yards below us so that you can look right down into it. I must give you a description of our march from Williamsport to where we are now. I had had no letter from you since 6th of June and between worry and heat together had managed to get pretty sick and the morning of our march I recd your letter dated June 14th and that done me more good than any medicine. I did not feel quite able to march so I was perched up on the top of our baggage wagon and had a good chance to see all that was going on. We struck our tents at 4 o clock in the morning, and at 6 the Regiment was drawn up ready to start the Sixth Regiment marched out and their baggage wagons after them. but stop I am fast. The Rhode Island troops with their battery of artillery and the Dragoons and first City troop led the advance and then came the 6th Regiment followed by the Twenty third our regiment with their baggage wagons and then the Twenty First followed in rear. The rout was through a most beautiful country and the view of the troops and wagons first in fording the Potomac river with the men up to their middle in water singing and Hurrahing and the wagons following after was a beautiful sight and then when we got over on this side of the river to see the long train moving steadily forward up the side of the high hills and when the wagon that I was on got up to look down into the valley and see them moving on almost at your feet was a most splendid sight To night we recd. orders to be ready to march at 4 o clock in the morning so I thought I would be ready with my letter to drop it in the first post office we come too so you need not write until you hear from me again as we are not certain where we shall be though we have had hinted that we are to go to Baltimore or to Washington but no matter where we go you will hear of us as soon as we stop so do not get uneasy. This morning we had quite a time we had just got done breakfast when a messenger came riding into camp at full speed with news that our pickets were being driven in by a large force of Cavalry and such another scene you could have no idea of. Men who had been on the sick roll for more than a week forgot they were sick and all hurried to their different companies, and the regiment was all formed in battle array, and off to our right and left the other regiments all drawn up on the hill tops in the same manner. every one anxiously waiting to see the enemy approach and all ready to get the first shot. well we waited for nearly an hour and no enemy made his appearance nor even a shadow of one and at last we were marched off to our quarters, and were told that a party of Cavalry had advanced as far as our outer pickets or at least near enough to see them without danger to themselves and after being satisfied that we had too strong a force and were too firm to be attacked retreated as fast as their horses could carry them satisfied that the Yankees as they call us were not in a position for them to meddle with and our first dash in the enemy's country was all smoke and no one hurt. But such a disappointed set you never saw. every one from the field officers down, were sorry the scoundrels did not at least make a show so that we could have a chance to let them see that we did not come for nothing. We may not get to Washington for a few days darling but if I have a chance I shall drop you a line at every post office I can on the road so you may know where I am and that all is right. Have you got the Picture yet? I am sorry now that I did not wait and send it by Mr Devitt. Good bye Pet. I must stop. God bless you all and keep you in safety till we return is the prayer of

Your affectionate Husband

Andrew Malseed letter to his wife Eliza Malseed 29 Jun 1861

Downsville Md June 29th 1861

My Own Darling Wife

I recd your letter of June 22nd yesterday by way of Hagerstown, and one of June 24th the day before, and was very glad indeed to hear that you were so well. I wrote to you three times from Williamsport and as you do not say anything about them I suppose you had not received them when you wrote. I am glad indeed you have at last got the likeness I sent you. I was afraid you would not get it. it is not worth much but still it may do to give an idea of what I looked like, in case anything should happen to me. I should have written to Mother long ago, but some how or other it seems as if I can hardly get time to do anything for myself I have had a great deal of writing to do this last two weeks making up the company books and finishing out the remarks of our travels in my morning report book I am glad you have taken George from school, the weather is so warm I think he will be better not to go to school until after vacation his running about will not make him thin if he does not go in the sun in the middle of the day. I wrote to Richard Neale about 10 days ago but I have not heard from him yet. You say Isaac has got a commission in the regular army. Well it is not a hard matter to get a commission now, but it will only last as long as the war continues. it is true that may be three or four years, but no longer than the war. but I do not care about selling myself for a target any longer at any price. it all may be very fine for those who like it, but when men get a taste of camp life and are treated as if we were a set of dogs instead of men the relish for camp life soon gets worn out, and I venture to say out of our whole regiment you could not get more than 150 or 200 to go again, unless stern necessity compels them, when they have got to look starvation in the face at home then they may go, and not before. You must not believe all the yarns you see in the paper about the camps and the feelings of the men and so on, let some one who will give a true account come out and see for themselves and they will change their tune so far as regards our regiment at any rate. the men instead of getting what the regulation calls for are fed on salt beef which looks as if it had been barreled up for 10 years and the pork when it is boiled looks like soft lard, now if they had what they ought to have they should have fresh beef at least three times a week and fresh vegitables at least twice a week, now when our time is nearly out and the men have begun to complain so loud that the quarter masters of Uncle Sam are afraid of their necks they are kind enough to give us fresh meat every other day. I am not speaking of the officers, for they have to buy their own provisions but the soldiers. and if we had a set of officers who knew their business we could have just what we are entitled to get, but the amount of the business is the one half of them do not know as much as the soldiers they command. If I had the means to support the position I should like dearly to have a commission but to have a body of men in my charge and see them treated the way that our boys have been I could not and would not. You could not endure the knocking about and moving and marching and besides that I would not care to expose you to the dangers that you would have to run the risk of. So as far as that is concerned you may rest assured if I return home safe I am done with soldiers life. I have had offers of a commission already but have no answer to give to any one until I get home first, then I shall speak my mind and very plainly too so that no one can make a mistake about what I say. You speak about the news in the paper being alarming, but if people at home knew the danger we were placed in through either ignorance or to speak more plainly cowardice of some of the head ones who govern our movements they might well be alarmed. but wait till the regiments return and they will hear of it all in all its beauty. Those two who crossed over the Potomac and were caught by the rebels were just served right. they had no orders. No business to go and were cautioned by the people over on that side but to no purpose so they went and were caught. You need not be afraid but that I will write darling and just as often as I can get a chance. that is about the only pleasant time I have when I am talking to you and I only wish the three weeks we have got to stay were out. but never mind, the power that has saved us so far is surely able and we must only place our dependance on him and hope that a better time is coming for us. Well Pet I must try and stop. I am sure you can not complain I do not write often enough for I believe I write more letters to you than any one else in the whole regiment writes to his wife or family but as I said before it is about the only comfort I have to write to you and read your dear letters, so I will be sure and write just as often as I can. Remember me, to all our friends who think enough of us to ask after me. Give my love to all the folks and do not forget me when you offer up your prayers to the throne of Mercy. Good bye Darling good bye. My love and kisses to George and just imagine how many you are to get when I come home for your share

Andrew Malseed letter to his wife Eliza Malseed 12 Jul 1861

Martinsburg July 12th 1861

My Own Darling Wife

Your letter dated July 6th came to hand day before yesterday evening. I would have answered right away, but I had just mailed a letter and we were under orders to march and I did not know what minute the roll would sound to order us out so I waited until today. The order to move was countermanded for 24 hours so we are here yet, but how long we will stay none of us knows. we expect to have a fight this afternoon or to morrow morning and there is a great stir in consequence, it may amount to nothing and it may be that we will have a serious time. I did not intend to write to you about it until it was over but perhaps it is best you should know before hand. Your letter that was directed to Williamsport that you speak of was recd and I guess I have gotten all that you have written to me up to the present time You need not be uneasy about my being sick, the only thing I would ask is to just say nothing about what I write only to our folks, Father and Mother, out of our own house. Some officious friend has told Ned and Dan that I had written home that I was sick and in the hospital which you yourself know is not true. I was foolish enough to write that I was sick, and so far they had the truth but I do not like the idea of having people tell lies about what I write so you need only say nothing to anyone in future about what I write and then there will be no occasion for any stories coming back to me about what I do write, not that I care anything about it but when folks tell anything let them tell the truth. Tell Mary I called at Dr Irvin's yesterday and they are all well and send their love to them all. the Dr talks of moving back to Philada this fall. he says that the rebels have ruined every kind of business so that it is not worth any ones while to try to do anything here and in fact it does not need for any one to tell about it you can see it without all the stores were closed when we came here and about one half the people had left the place. but now things are beginning to look different in town at least the stores are almost all open, and the place looks quit like another town but out in the country the farmers are in a bad plight the rebels have stolen all their teams and wagons, and their crops of grain are rotting in the fields because they have no way to get them harvested. it is an awful sight to see so much wasted. but the grain is not all, just at one side of the town the locomotives of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail Road are piled on the track some 60 odd in number all destroyed they piled wood all over them and burned them all so that they are worthless. on the other side of town they destroyed some 200 and over freight cars and all the passenger cars of the same road and when we marched into Martinsburg there was a long string of coal cars all loaded with coal standing on the track about a half mile from the town which were still burning and in fact the fire is not out yet in the greater part of them. we pass them every day when we go out on dress parade and this morning they were burning yet. It is almost impossible to tell how much they have destroyed but the railroad was in good condition, had plenty of cars of all kinds, and now they have none at all; all are burned up. this is one of the evils of civil war. You ask how I felt when we had to face the enemy. well that is a hard question to answer; I do not believe you could find anyone who could describe the feeling when the first shots are fired it is not fear but a kind of awe comes over one and all hands seemingly held their breath for a moment to hear the next discharge when after the word to advance in double quick time was given I believe almost all in the Regiment gave a sort of a cheer or you might call it yell, something like you hear the firemen give when they run along with their engine. and then all hands started off at almost a full run and I do not think anyone stoped to think until the whole affair was over. No one even complained of being tired but seemed anxious to push on and overtake the enemy. Tell Jim and Tom I feel the compliment they would pay me, deeply, and when I return will give them all the assistance I can to raise their company but I do not feel at liberty to say anything about it now. You speak about Mr Martin and the people of the church. I only hope he will keep as good a union man as he was when I came away and he need not care if half of the people leave. he has no right to bring politics into the pulpit, the place as far as I understand it for the minister of God and for the reading of his holy word, and as for myself I should not feel disposed to listen to anything else from the pulpit except the word of God, and did he or any other minister preach anything else on the Sabath from the pulpit in a church where I was, I should get up and leave and not set foot inside again so long as that man preached there. the pulpit is for the preaching of the Gospel and not for political wrangling and strife. Well pet I must stop I am nearly at the end of the sheet and paper is scarce here, so we have to husband it pretty well, and make every piece go as far as it will. to day is the 12th. in 9 more days if I am spared, I hope to begin my march toward home, and glad indeed will I be to get there it seems almost as many years instead of months since I have left. Give my love to the folks. tell them I hope if God spares us to be with them in about 2 weeks from today. tell George not to forget. remember me to all who ask about us. Give George his usual share of kisses and receive the same yourself along with the fervent love

of your affectionate Husband
