Lt. Col. David
Leckey Resignation Letter dated December 27, 1862 following Battle
of Fredericksburg:
Colonel, I have been unable to attend to my duty in the regiment for some time on account of my complaint which I had in Beaufort for the term of 8 weeks and which I have never been entirely clear of since. I find after consulting the surgeon of the regiment that my hopes of getting better in this exposed condition are very limited, and my primary affairs at home need my attention very much as I have a large family and no one to depend upon to attend to my affairs for me. I would therefore respectfully offer my resignation as Lt. Col. of the 100th Regt. P.V. Very Respectfully, Your most obt. servant. David A. Leckey Lt. Col 100th Penn Vols.
