Camp Winder
Near Richmond, April 17, 1862
Hon. Geo. W. Randolph
Dr Sir
I fear that you will consider this naught else than an act of
unmitigated presumption on the part of your humble
correspondent. But hear the extenuating causes.
Let me first however, note the purpose I have in addressing you.
I earnestly beg of you to grant me a commission in the
Confederate Army.
In making this application I am actuated by no boyish whims.
Having left my home in Maryland I have left behind me all that
is dear and valuable to me upon this earth. I have left an aged
father and young sister without a protecting hand to interpose
between them and the wrath of a tyrannical oppressor. The only
hope I have upon this earth is to see the Confederacy
permanently established and Maryland annexed to it. The system
of Napoleon was to place those around him who had everything to
hope from victory and everything to dread from defeat. Surely
fortune has thus befriended me, if I may use the expression.
I have been a soldier of the Confederate Army since June last
and have reenlisted. I have friends over here who would have
been kind enough to have handed this to you in person but I am
one who hopes to live by my own exertions. Besides a nine months
service I have no military experience. I had the fortune however
to graduate with the first honor at Georgetown College, District
of Columbia and think that with close application I could fit
myself for the station to which I beg you to raise me. Be so
kind as to address a reply to:
Your most obedient servant
John P. Marshall
Capt. E. Barry's Comp Md Line
Richmond Va.
From: [email protected]
Below (above) is a letter from a Confederate soldier to his
superiors in Richmond requesting a captaincy at the urging of
his commanding officer. This was June 1862 at the end of the
enlistment period of the 1st Maryland Inf. when their year
expired. After this they went to units of other states and many
formed the 2nd Md Inf. Practically every infantry, cavalry and
artillery unit in the Southern army had a Marylander in it
usually brought there by a relative from that state. The
Confederate navy and marines had many Marylanders serving. The
2nd in command of the Hunley was a Marylander.
John P. Marshall was one of my many ancestors who served in the
Confederacy. I have found none from Maryland who served for the
other side. Georgetown U had in their archives the original
handwritten letter and a picture of John and his father Robert
Marshall who lived in Southern Prince George's County in the
area of where the Washington beltway and Andrews AFB now are.
Oldfields. John had graduated from Georgetown College as it was
known in those days. This is all I can find of him. There is no
record of him in the 2nd Maryland. I surmise that he was
eventually killed shortly after this letter was written. A
cousin gave me a copy of a letter written by his father in early
1866 to a brother in Virginia stating how he was thinking of
coming to his brothers farm to live since there was nothing left
here for him. He mentions the passing of his wife and daughter
to his brother. Nothing about his son. So I figure he was
already deceased. The letter is short but a good example of why
the war was fought. The real reason it was fought. Read it and
see what you think.
Thanks
Rick in Olde Maryland.
