| Date | 2 June 1863 |
| Author | Morgan, John Hunt (1825-1864) |
| Document Type | Correspondence |
| Content Description | Requests a leave of absence to be with his family. Requested the leave because he wished to move his pregnant wife to her aunt's home in Augusta, Georgia. The request was denied at the insistence of Braxton Bragg, who felt that an advance from Union General Rosecrans was imminent, and that Morgan was therefore needed in the field. |
