I look forward to a Goshen sojourn in summer and could look at it then unless you can Zerox and send it to me, And please do send more details via email: -- cmpride@yahoo.com. I know quite a bit about this regiment and can probably put the manuscript in context.

For some time I have been following and ...Hi Mike,<br /><br />For some time I have been following and enjoying your blog. With your new focus on New York, I wonder whether you might be interested in seeing a Civil War manuscript that recently surfaced in the as-yet un-archived papers of the Goshen Historical Society. It is an 80-page soldier's account of his Fourth New York Battery. This very fragile manuscript does not seem to have any connection to Goshen, but we believe it may have considerable historical value. We would appreciate it if you could evaluate it; or if not, perhaps you could suggest someone who might do this. I would be happy to provide more details about its content (including excerpts) and condition if you think you might be interested in seeing this.<br /><br />Regards,<br />JohnJ.
