Edmund S. Muskie Archives and Special Collections Library
By his letter of Feb. 2, 1863, Charles Garcelon seemed to have become acclimated to the soldier's life.
He told his aunt that if her husband, William Waldon, also serving in the 16th Maine, did not get promoted to major, he should resign.
Garcelon also was pleased with the news that his grandfather had "put up cabbage heads to send out here," adding, "If he would send me out some butter, butter, butter, it would be very acceptable."
