A letter home (1864) McCook
Dear Mother and Father,
It's been a while since I've written back to you but I'm still living and i'm doing well. March was a very interesting month for the union mostly because General McClellan has gotten a lot of hate and has now been placed in my worst generals list. He complete ignored President Lincolns orders which later resulted in Lincoln appointing Ulysses S Grant as general. We all have high hopes and expectations for him and hope he serves our union well. With all this McClellan stuff going on, the democrats chose him to face Lincoln in the presidential election. Lincoln wins the election in the November election and he wins by a landslide. Lincoln becomes re-elected and beats democratic rival George McClellan. This was a short one but I have to go now.
Love you to death, and ill give you more updates with future letters
McCook
