Abstract:
Johnson lent a railroad train to General VanCleve that William Bosson (1806-1887) requested and so cannot accommodate Bosson's request. He authorizes Bosson to call on VanCleve "for all the ambulances he can spare." A manuscript note by William Bosson explains that he requested the railroad train "on the occasion of a Sabbath School picnic" and that the event was ultimately supplied with 12 ambulances. One of them had a large United States flag on it: "The display was by no means agreeable to the rebel population." On "Head Quarters District of Middle Tennessee" stationery.
