CONFEDERATE LETTERS FROM MALCOLM
CONFEDERATE LETTERS FROM MALCOLM MCCLEOD United States,Two letters from Malcolm McCleod, Co. E, 32nd Alabama Volunteer Infantry, one from Camp Mobile dated July 9, 1862, to his wife Ruth Pugh (Chapman) McCleod mentioning he had been sick, asking how things were on the farm; a letter to Ruth from Chattanooga Valley dated October 4, 1863, which says in part "Sunday has once more rolled around/and I am still living, and in reasonable health.- Thank/god for his extended kindness to me. Health is the only good/thing that I at present can boast of. We are still/in line of battle, in front of Chattanooga and in an open/old field; exposed to both sunshine and rain; having no/covering but our blankets. I am now seated on the ground/with my blanket stretched over me to ward of the rays of/the sun" he goes on to complain about not having tents and lack of rations as well as the loss of so many in battle. A third letter is written to Ruth, but on August 22, 1864, from her brother, not signed, but possibly written by Wesley Robinson, from "Line of Battle near Atlanta" bemoaning those who have been killed, including her brother Steve (also mentioned in Malcolm's letter) and that "there was several shell bursted in the/rifle pit where he was & he was never/seen afterwards." Note: Malcolm McCleod was born on April 3, 1824 in Clarke County, Alabama. He married Ruth McCleod on September 30, 1847. According to the family genealogy he wrote a letter on August 10, 1863, from camp with a poem about his own death, which came not long after writing his October 4, 1863 letter when he was wounded badly on November 25 at the Battle of Missionary Ridge in Chattanooga. He was captured after being wounded and his left leg amputated. He died on December 20, 1863.
