Nashville Tenn Feb 11th /63 Dear Govener. I enlisted the 7th of Aug last, and, belong to Co D 75th Regt, Ill Vol. and have not on the account of bad health, performed any military duty since the first of Oct. I have been in Hospital No 7. and was, in the sick room at the Barracks about two weeks, and now, in Hosp No 23. have been here since the eleventh of Jan. I do not seem to gain strength, and feel - <hr /> as though I ought to have my discharge. I am not of age, and am weakly. A soldier can lay here and die, before he can get discharged unless he has got the heart disease, or, chronic Diarrahea. My Co officers, are willing I should have my discharge, but do not try to get it. Now Dear Governor, will you do what you can, conserning my discharge and get it for me. Perhaps you may think I am trying to play off <hr /> but what I have writen is the truth. If I could get well I would not ask for my discharge. It is of no use for me to try to stay with the Regt any more because camp life does not agree with my health. I have not done any duty in the Regt, of any account since I enlisted, on the account, of not being able. I will close by asking you of this kind favor. or let me go home until I get well. I remain one of your affectionate soldiers. <hr /> Edward S. Curtis. Private. Please answer this. Direct to Nashville Tenn General Hosp No 23 <hr /> Ans March 5 63. Edward S. Curtis.

Edwin Booth Grossman Dec. 4/55 Dear Mr. Lenthal - Please forgive my delay in replying to your letter which I enjoyed reading and did not in any way consider a "breaking in" on my privacy, especialy as it contained so much of interest regarding my family and your collection of Booth mementos. By this time you have no doubt visited The Players with the friend you speak of and I am sure it was a thrilling experience to a young actor who can write as you did, about my grandfather It is a long time since I visited the Club, and in fact I have not <hr /> been in New York for a number of years. Let us hope that one of these days my health will permit my going there. I was very interested to learn that from time to time you are giving lectures on the life of my grandfather and that there has been so much interest aroused. I fervently hope that you will soon be able to fill your glass hanging wall cases. During her lifetime my mother donated many costumes etc. belonging to her father to The Players. My own collection is thus small + intimate. I am wondering what is the small photograph of my mother you have acquired? Thank you for writing me such a friendly letter, and the best of luck to you.

Philadelphia Oct. 21st 1866 My dear Sir - I am sorry I was obliged to quit Boston without even a chance to say 'goodbye' to you, or to receive the '[pears?] and spelling book' which (the book) I am daily expecting - my friend Mr Tompkins having promised to send it to me. This is the first opportunity I've had - since I left Boston - to acknowledge yr last kind letter, and even now I write in little less than agony; being somewhat crippled by a severe pain in my kidneys - an affliction which has troubled me many years, and which is aggravated by every little cold I take or any great exertion. I cannot tell you, sir, how dearly I prize such <hr /> tokens of encouragement as those I have received from you and a few others, whose judgment I value above all the fulsome laudations so lavishly bestowed by the unthinking many upon a favorite. Although unseen by other eyes, I draw from them renewed energy [&?] I sometimes turn to them for that encouragement, which all the newspaper "puffings" and applauding audiences fail to [provide?]. I think sometimes I must be a little dead inside - then I feel [sated?] and weary of my good fortune, and believe myself to be the most ungrateful of animals. It is only when I turn to these few cherished letters that I feel myself <hr /> to be of some little use; and then I hope again to be one day of service to my kind. Not seeing you in the seat I selected for you I feared you were prevented from attending - I wish I had known the reason, I cd easily have procured you another. I am glad you were not disappointed with the 2d performance you witnessed - it only proves how little one can judge of his own work; I was terribly dissatisfied that evening. I will certainly bring my darling to see Mrs Sargent - in the Spring, if life and health are granted us. I was obliged to leave her in New York, the journey hither - without <hr /> rest - would have been too great for her, and besides, my mother needed the "sunshine" a little -but I miss her dreadfully. Again thanking you for your kindly thoughts of me, and wishing you many, many years of health and happiness I am very Sincerely yours Edwin Booth Status The current transcription status of a document or a page.

Dear Mr. Sargent: I thought I should have seen you ere this-but I have had long rehearsals every day, and on Sundays have been compelled to act on to business connected with my New York theaters. Having now no wardrobe the few leisure moments I usually have between rehearsal and the play are employed in looking up the many little articles useful to my costumes, and so I have been kept on 'tenter-hooks' all this while. In a few days I hope to have the pleasure of driving out to see you. <hr /> I enclose tickets for my next performance of 'Hamlet'-I think after a change I act with more spirit and feeling than when wearied by routine, acting the same character successively for several nights is apt to make me dull and heavy and therefore I wished you to see me after having broken the monotony by acting other parts. I hope you will be able to visit the theater next Tuesday evening, and that I may not disappoint you. With many kind wishes for yourself and family, believe me, most respectly and sincerely yours, Edwin Booth <hr /> P.S.-I do not hesitate to send these tickets, believing that you will grant me the privilege to do so when I tell you it affords me great pleasure.
