ALS, 2pp, 124 x 198 mm, Fort D.A. Russell, Cheyenne, Wyoming, August 30, 1871, C.E. Taylor of Troop F, 9th US Cavalry to a Miss Harrold. A touching letter from C.E. Taylor, an African American Buffalo Soldier serving in Company F of the famed 9th US Cavalry. It is unclear who the recipient of the letter is as Taylor opens, “I know you will be surprised to hear from a stranger.” His letter is occupied with concern over how his letter will be received but emphasizes his isolation, “please don’t think that I am writing to you for the purpose of hurting your feeling, for I am not, I am writing because I have no one to write to.” Taylor was stationed at Fort D.A. Russell (now Francis E. Warren AFB) outside Cheyenne, Wyoming, which was home to Buffalo Soldier regiments for much of the late 19th century.
