Erastus Kies letters, 1863-1864.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/245045110

Seven of the letters were written by Erastus Kies of Worcester, Massachusetts to his sister-in-law Fannie H. Kies of Killingly, Connecticut, asking for updates on the status of her husband, George Kies, who was captured by the Confederates while serving with the 18th Regiment, Connecticut Volunteers. The primary topics were whether or not George would be included in a prisoner exchange, and Erastus' fear for his brother's safety. Also a letter to George from Benjamin Palmer concerning a debt George owed, and an unidentified letter from Charles A. Colton of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, to his "Sister Julia."
