Abstract:
This letter from William Washington Knight to his wife Mary Knight is too faded to transcribe, but it appears to written sometime in 1862 (or 1863) from a hospital in Forsyth County, Georgia.
Transcription Update (2024-07-24): Hospital in Forsyth County likely Hardee Hospital (spelled "Hardie"). Further examination suggests the doctor's name could start with a "W," possibly "Watters" rather than "Nettles." Research indicates a Dr. W. Webb at Hardee Hospital, but no "Watters" except for one in Alabama, with no record of him being elsewhere. This discrepancy could be due to lost records.
