| Summary: | During the war, Warrick served in the Coosa Home Guards, and he was a private in Company C of the 34th Alabama Infantry. In the letter he discusses his unit's new camp ("we are stationed in a very nice place - good blue limestone water in abundance") and their journey to it: "We were treated very benevolently as we came through Alabama. The women gave us plenty of good things to eat such as water melons, grapes, figs, tomatoes, butter milk, loaf bred and boild ham, we had a very pleasant trip of it after we left Montgomery." He asks his wife about conditions at home and adds that in another regiment there were "three men poisoned on butter milk." A transcript of the letter is included. [Original spelling retained.]
