Civil War letters, 1861-1863, sent to his sister, Elizabeth (Mrs. Charles Kuhn Wagner) of Newark, Essex County, New Jersey, including a couple of letters (1862) written by a brother (Luther Woodruff) who served in the 26th New Jersey Infantry. The letters were sent from various camps, all or most in Virginia. Two additional letters, dated 1864 and addressed to Callen's mother, are accompanied by three cartes-de-visite: two of Callen and one of the battle flag of the Second Regiment of the New Jersey Volunteers. Completing the correspondence is an excerpt copied from a letter (May 7, 1864) describing Callen's death and burial.
