George W. Smith letters, 1863

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/244248367

In this series of three letters to his mother Mary, George W. Smith writes about his service in the military. He mentions he is stationed at Camp Dick Robinson and Camp Parke in Kentucky in two separate letters, and in the third he says his company is stationed near Crab Orchard, New York. His letters are mostly sentimental in nature, as Smith tells his mother that he owes her for how well she raised him. He sends her money saying, "if you Want for anething [sic] and do not take the money I will never for give [sic] you for it." Smith mentions illnesses and injuries, as well as how much he misses the state of Kentucky.
