Camp near Corinth, Mississippi
July the 8th, 1862

Dear Father and Mother and Brother-

I once more take my pen in hand to let you know how we are getting along. I am well and the most of the boys but Henry Harm has not got over the measles yet, He will get his discharge, I think, and go home. I have not been in any fight here yet. We are camped here at Corinth. It is a very strong fortified place. The rebels has fortifications here for miles . . . So long I don't know whatever made than run away from it. There is about 80,000 troops camped here. It is not less than 15 or 20 miles around our camp. I don't see why they don't send some of us to Richmond to help take that . . . place.

I hear that they had whipped our boys and made them retreat 7 miles and all that saved them was the gun boats.

This is a mighty poor part of the world down here. The corn is not as big here as it is in Kansas. There is right smart of cotton down here. I have seen, some large fields of it and there is the darkeys hoeing in it. They generally run to the fence to see us pass or if they are too far off they will wave their handkerchiefs to us. They are not as big fools as people take them to be. A few days ago there was one little nigger boy about the size of Thomas came in camp on the finest kind of a mule. He said that his master was Le Sech and he would not stay with him.

It is very warm down here sometimes. We don't march very much. We generally go on the Cau River but the bridges are all burned and we have to wait until they are made over again. Mother . . . it is a great place for black berries down here. I wish you had a bucket full and I think you could make something good to eat out of them. We gather them and stew them and put sugar in them and they are pretty good.

Well, father we got paid off yesterday. Two months pay 26th and as Joseph Richards is a coming home I will send you some of my money. I will put $21 in the letter...
this is ten for father and ten for mother and one for Thomas. This is a present for you all to do as you please with.

Please send me a few postage stamps for I don't get them down here, write soon from John W. to James, Alice and Thomas Johnson.

Director your letter to the 5th K. V. Co. E in care of Captain John Grelish and 1 think it will come to hand.

________________________________
Dear David:My Bryant line is at . I do nothave direct evidence of Hannah's birth (such as a birth certificate); I took her date of birth (March 17, 1879) from W.C. Johnson's genealogy. However, Ido have a 1900 U.S. census image of the William Bryant household, and Hannahis listed as the oldest child, born in January 1879 (I just now noticedthis.)If you'd like, I could send either the entire census page (287 kb) or twoclose-ups of the family (165 kb and 171 kb). One of the close-ups gives thenumber of years that Hannah had been in the U.S. (19) and also gives heroccupation as photographer. However, it is more likely that she worked as aretoucher of photographs, as in the image I do attach here of the articlethat appeared in the Streator Monitor. (At that time, 1901, it was unusualfor the newspapers to have such articles. Streator had two newspapers at thetime, and it was only by sheer luck that I found the article on microfilm.)I find it interesting to note that W.C. Johnson's parents both died inStreator. I wonder what brought them to Streator from Kansas.If you have any other interest in the Bryant family, I will be examining theLDS microfilm for the parish in which many of the Bryants and Mosses wereborn in Bristol.Very best regards,Tim Bryant (tpbryant9@yahoo.com )


An image of Hannah Bryantâ??s newspaper wedding article was attached to the email above. It is in the unnumbered documents scanned images folder. The document name is: Bryant, Hannah - Wedding article. Tim also sent me an image of the census record of Hannahâ??s family. It is in the same folder and is named: Bryant, Hannah - 1900 Census. The information below came from Timâ??s web site.
