description During the Civil War, Danielly was a member of the 14th Alabama Infantry, Company K. In this letter he discusses camp life. He writes that although the weather has been cold and rainy, he keeps fairly warm: "I can't say that I suffer more than common of a winter I have a good little tent large enough for four of us to sleep in and we have blankets enough to keep us warm at night. In the day time we have very good fires to sit stand or squat around just as we like but the smoke is very bad on our eyes." Danielly also lists his daily rations ("one pound and 2 ounces of flour, quarter of a pound of bacon, one fifth of pound of sugar and about a thimble full of salt") and writes "we make out very well on it without grumbling although it is very light feed."
