"I wish you could send me two cotton
shirts. I don’t want any bosum in them, nor collar on them. Now don’t put
yourself out of the way to send them, but the lice gets into those wollen[sic]
shirts so. They are poor things, they are so short."
- John Young
From "The 14th U.S.
Infantry Regiment in the American Civil War – John Young Letters" Edited by C.
