http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/24990407

Two clippings about Morris, 1941 and 1957; and a compilation, titled "The Life and Letters of Colonel William G. Morris," produced, 1935- 1937, by Hazel Morris Ritch Lawing, of transcriptions of Civil War letters from William Groves Morris, accompanied by a biographical sketch of him, transcriptions of family Bible records, and two postwar letters to Morris. The Civil War letters were written by Morris to his wife and family from eastern North Carolina and Virginia and, after he was captured at Gettysburg, from the federal prison at Johnson's Island, Ohio. They discuss in some detail military activities, living conditions in camp, religious activities, Morris's feelings about the war, and other matters, and offer advice about affairs at home.
