This original Letter is written in brown ink upon period lined paper, 10.5" x 7.75", 1 page, with very unusual and interesting content, it reads in part: "it is true I have sons in the Confederate service that have been home but as for either of them being guilty of the charge alleged to them I declare it to be a false and defamatory accusation..." He asks for a chance to clear himself and for permission to return home: "...I have a growing crop which needs my attention... need it for my little ones that are not able to watch over themselves... You have the power over me..." A well-written letter, from war-torn Georgia, with minor toning and normal folds. |
