Title:
Letter from William P. Hopkins to French Tipton
Date:
24 Feb 1896
Description:
Originally addressed to the Post Master of Richmond, this letter was forwarded to Judge Tipton with a note commenting that at the least Tipton may acquire another Climax subscriber. The attachment, which is the actual letter, requests information regarding the 7th Kentucky Volunteers' troop movements during May, 1863, as well as the details of a Civil War battle that took place shortly before Hopkins' arrival to the Richmond area. An interesting point of note is a comment he makes about a woman waving an American flag in their Confederate faces during a march through Richmond.
