Notes for DAVID (BIG) KITTRELL: Enlisted in Confederate Army September 10, 1861 Greene County, Ms. in Capt Henry Roberts (Gaines Warriors), Mississippi Volunteers, 24 Ms Infantry. Served as a Private. He was captured at Chicamauga, Ga., September 20, 1863. He was sent to the Military Prison, Louisville, Ky., Sept. 30, 1863 to Nashville, Tn., then to Camp Douglas, Ill. October 2, 1863. (Letter written by David Kittrell while in the Army) Camp Johnson Larince Co Miss. March 23, 1863 Lt Gen Pemberton, Commanding Officer. Dear Sir It is with the gratis pleasure that I drop you a few lines to inform you that there is 20 of Major A C Steeds battallion that wishes to, reinlist as regulars and if there is any chance to do so I want you to give us some information how to proseede to become a regular. Shom ofisers sase there is a chance to go as regulars, Sir I want you to drop me a few lines showing us you got this note in regards to requests. Dear Sir direct your letter to Montiselo, (Monticello, Lawrence County) Laurence County Miss. Yours Truly David Kittrell (Letter written in behalf of David Kittrell in an effort to get him out of the service of the Confederate Army to come home and work as a shoemaker and blacksmith) Near State Line, Ms Nov 16, 1863 Dear Sir: I address this letter to you at the request of several of my respectable neighbors. David Kittrell a member of Co F Maj. A C Steeds Batallion Cavalry (was at Meridian) is a blacksmith and shoemaker and it is very desirable to the indigent families of soldiers that he should be exempted from military duty and return home that in as much as he has given a promise to make shoes for the indigent families of (absent) families and the widows of deceased soldiers free of charge for his labor and to repair their empliments of husbandry also free of charge. His respectable connections and friends guarantee the fulfillment of his promise should he be exempted. There have been, I think, many changes in the exemption laws and I have not in my power to make myself sufficiently acquainted with them not having the laws within my reach at present, but I am under the impression that both blacksmiths and shoemakers who work at their trades in a business are exempted by law and if I was right then David Kittrell is intitled to this discharge. This section of the country is pineywoods with the exception of some rich lands on the Chickasawhay River and is sparsely settled generally with poor families and most have their men capable of bearing arms have been called to the Armies, many of them leaving their families in destitute circumstances--- ,this is my opinion, should have great weight with the proper authority in deciding promptly on Kittrell's discharge. I flatter myself you will do in the justice to believe my assertion when I say I would not make my effort to obtain this discharge of a single efficient soldier in the present state of our affairs but for the Confederate belief that he would render more service to our cause at home by contributing to the comforts and support of widows and indigent families of soldiers than he could render in the field. I understand that my worthy neighbor Mr Alex Avery is about himself to Meridian in petition by the heads & representatives of the families residing in the vicinity of David Kittrell's residence asking his exemption. Mr Avery, is further proof is required of Kittrells being in blacksmith and shoemaker who has been in the habit of working at both trades for neighbors, can give it. I beg this favor of you to give this case your consideration an every decision in the pronision as you may deem proper. I am with great support from about that Geo Gaines
