Letter from Henry Cherry to Amos Gould from Memphis, Tenn., 1865 November 1
Expresses happiness over rumors that they are to be mustered out today. Describes Jackson as a wealthy & very beautiful place said to be the handsomest town in Tennessee. But the people are very different from those of E. Tennessee. They are proud, haughty, aristocratic, and are today as rebellious in spirit as they were four years ago.
Also talks of post-war anger in both Jackson and Memphis.
