Abstract | The collection is a letter dated 8 June 1863 from one Confederate soldier Andrew H. Rendleman to another, Milo Roseman. Both men were from North Carolina, and Rendleman wrote the letter from an encampment near Guiney's Station. In the letter, Rendleman excoriates Roseman, calling him a quack doctor, charlatan, and "half breed." He accuses Roseman of being a drunkard and of "propagating mulatto children." He denies that Roseman ever treated him for gonorrhea as Roseman had claimed and asserts that Roseman had insulted his wife. Rendleman threatens to exact revenge when he next saw him by "inflicting such blows" as to make Roseman unrecognizable. |
