As Paul Harvey says here is the rest of the story.
A few weeks ago as I was in a civil war chat room
I met a fellow from Illinois who said that he was trying
to get a letter published through a civil war magazine.
He said it was a letter written by a confederate soldier
and was his last letter home before he was executed.
When he told me it was Asa Ladd and I related the
previous story to him he could hardly believe that he
had run across someone with knowledge of Asa Ladd.
Anyway since that evening he has been sucessfull in
finding a magazine that is going to publish the last
letter home from Asa Ladd to his wife Amy. I will keep
you posted as to which magazine will publish it and
at what time it will be published if you are interested.
Asa Valentine Ladd 11-23-1829 son of Ransom Ladd
3-19-1807 born S.C. By the way Asa was born in Mo.
