This collection consists of ten letters sent to Union soldier John P. Webster during the Civil War. Webster, a native of Unity, New Hampshire, was originally a private in the 9th New Hampshire Infantry regiment, but was later transferred to the 94th Company, 2nd Battalion of the Veteran Reserve Corps (formerly the Invalid Corps), a United States Army unit to which disabled soldiers were assigned to perform light duty. The letters date from 1864 and 1865, when Webster was in the Veteran Reserve Corps, stationed at the Soldiers’ Home in Indianapolis, Indiana. The letter writers include Mary A. Bean, Webster’s sister, Peter Sanborn, state treasurer of New Hampshire, and various friends of Webster’s, including some fellow members of the Veteran Reserve Corps. Topics addressed include news of family and friends (in the army and out), news of the war, post-war plans for visiting friends and family, and where Webster’s money should be deposited. |
