These two letters may be of note? Re: Col. Corcoran of 69th NYSM. There are two letters written by Col. Corcoran, and penned from a Richmond, VA prison (July 24 & 29 of 1861,) in the NY Times Archives. Both letters describe the action before the Col.’s capture by the enemy and subsequent treatment directly after.
