description In the letter he discusses the death of his sister and the possibility that more relatives will die before the end of the war: "This again is a severe trial for us to undergo. And how soon will it be before some one else of the family will go the grave. If Brother Bolling, Crenshaw and Johny [sic] go to Tullahoma and participate in the great battle impending there, there will be four of the family there and perhaps it may please Divine Providence to take one of them away from us. It is sad to think upon these matters and should serve to unite our hands and hearts nearer than ever before, so that when we all come to submit our spirits up to...the grave we will be prepared to follow our Dear Mother, and Sister to their happy and peaceful abode in Heaven. Yes this is our great consolation, that they are no longer in this world of sin but in Heaven." A transcription is included.
