[ Letter Index | Previous Letter ]
This letter is the last of the Civil War letters. The original is very faded and some of the words are almost invisible (the scratches of the pen on the paper can be followed somewhat). The middle paragraph was the faintest. The letter is a bit anti-climactic, I'm afraid -- it has to do with the distribution of money.
