4th NJ Soldier Reports 90,000 To 120,000 Troops Around Washington And Talk Of Going To Richmnod. The 4th New Jersey Infantry Regiment was organized at Trenton, NJ, on April 27th, 186, for three months. The regiment was honored by a visit from President Lincoln. Most of the first three months were spent guarding the bridge over the Potomac and the Orange and Alexandria Railroad. After being reorganized, the regiment saw action in many major battles, including Gettysburg, Seven Days, Gaines Mill, Malvern Hill, Bull Run, Second Battle of Bull Run, Fredericksburg, Antietam, Chancellorsville, Wilderness, South Mountain, Petersburg, Appomattox and the surrender of Lee and his army.

The reorganized 4th was mustered out on July 9th, 1865, at Hall's Hill, VA. Meanwhile, the 6th New Jersey Infantry Regiment was formed, which was made up of many soldiers from the 4th.

Hill was mustered into K Co. Of the 4th on April 27th, 1861.

While research indicates he mustered out on July 31, 1861, his letters extend well beyond that date clearly indicating that he remained in the army. 2 pp, 8 x 10, Hill writes in small part, Arlington Heights, June 10th, 1861... We won't get any until our three months is up, which is on the 21st of July... One dollar is plenty to send me at a time.

It does me a great deal of good. Sometimes I don't get enough to eat. I will have many a tale to tell you when I get home...

I have seen a great many sights... There is today talk of us going to Richmond... Some staining but readable and from a soldier in a fine regiment. Our goal is to please every customer.
