description During the Civil War, Danielly was a member of the 14th Alabama Infantry, Company K; he was killed during the Battle of Chancellorsville on May 3, 1863. This letter, mailed after his death, was returned to Elizabeth by William A. Roberts on May 20. In it she writes about the family's health, the wheat crop, and her plans to send him more supplies. In one notable passage, she mentions that a relative's child has developed "a strange condition . . . she is all bloated till she don't look like her self." Elizabeth writes that the infant may have come in contact with "some of them balls of poison that has bin draped about your Pa's premises" and writes that there "is some devilment afloat" because most of the poison was "mostly found around the nigroe cabins."
