Family correspondence, chiefly June-October 1864, of Hunt of Chicago, while he was a lieutenant of the 134th Illinois Regiment, U.S. Army.

Gen. Eleazer A. Paine. Letters from his family in Chicago concern the hardware business of his father, Edwin Hunt, civilian war activities, and family news. Postwar letters from Chicago contain business news about the hardware trade, building and expansion in the city, and rising prices and speculation in hardware.
