I recently acquired this rare CS letter from D R Williams (inventor the Williams gun) to Gen Ruggles concerning cannons he wanted and the what was going on. It mentions Gen Polk and what he wanted. I can read most of it to make out the jest of the letter but need some help transcribing it all. Plus, How did the inventor of the Williams gun wind up in Richmond in 1864 making cannons. I can't find any info on him past the days in KY as and artillery commander.
