This handwritten letter, dated November 20, 1863, from L. Bennett Schwabe to the officers and soldiers of the 11th Massachusetts Regiment, notifies them of a shipment of articles sent via Harnden & Co.'s express. The articles, described as "healthy and useful," are intended for the "old members" of the regiment, with a promise to remember "newly drafted men" at a later time. Schwabe expresses his awareness of the regiment's valor and asks for confirmation of the safe arrival of the items. The document features handwritten text on lined paper, with some visible corrections and signs of age such as faint yellow stains. 3.
