John Murray Atwood letters, 1862.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/174120170

The collection consists of two letters written by Sergeant John Murray Atwood, Company E, 29th Massachusetts Infantry Regiment, to his sister, Nancy Tribble. The first, written from Frederick City, Md., 12 September 1862, details the entrance of the Union Army into Frederick during the Antietam Campaign. The second letter was written from Philadelphia, Pa., 18 November 1862, where Atwood was apparently convalescing. This letter is about Atwood's weariness with the ongoing war and his determination to "have [his] share of the rest" now that he has "done [his] share of the fighting."
