Book Description
The letters are quite typical in content and form not only to each other but to others sent by home by enlisted soldiers of the Civil War. Townsend expresses gratitude to his wife for previous letters and asks her to write more often. He asks of his children and life at home and share modest information about his life in the army. The principal exceptions are the letter dated June 22, 1864, which comments on the Siege of Vicksburg and the letter of August 10, 1864 which talks about the Battle for Atlanta.
