| 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 mentions the lack of food in the camp, and then discusses his feelings about the war: "...we could get along very well if we got enough to eat...You know what a great luxury fruit is, and how much a soldier can enjoy it, and here we cant get any without paying enormous prices. Such is the fate of a Confederate soldier. If we ever or those who live to survive this cruel war and return to their homes and families again, will know how to appreciate peace and happiness...But there is no telling when this unwholly war will close. I trust not before a great while, though." A transcript of the letter is included. [Original spelling retained.]
