Re: Info needed concerning 2nd Mich Cav.

These letters would cover the Wilson Raid into Alabama, not operations in Virginia. Sheridan, as you may know, was once colonel of the 2nd MIchigan. At the time from "Chicksaw, Miss" (sic) (actually Alabama) the 2nd Michigan, part of 1st Brigade, 1st Division, Cavalry Corps, Department of the MIssissippi, under Maj. Gen. James H. Wilson, entered the heart of Alabama. First Brigade, Brig. Gen. John T. Croxton, was detached by Wilson to destroy the University of Alabama at Tuscaloosa, Alabama.

I would be very much interested in the letters dated March 22-April 29, 1865. I would gladly deferr any costs of copying and mailing.
