http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/25814503

Letters and postcards to the Satterfields and Merritts from friends and family. Among these are letters of E. Fletcher Satterfield from the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill in the late 1850s and different Civil War camps, mostly in Virginia. Satterfield's war correspondence describes camp life, fellow soldiers, and local inhabitants. One letter describes an engagement with Union gunboats in the Blackwater area of Virginia. The Fletcher W. Merritt letters are from World War I camps in North Carolina, South Carolina, and Texas where Merritt was stationed before he was sent abroad. He wrote of his love for his mother and his activities at these camps. Also included are bills and notices of Green D. Satterfield; the "Fletcher History" by Kate Cooper Barden Winstead; a muster roll of Company H, 55th Regiment; recipes; and newspaper clippings, including obituaries of relatives. Several of Green D. Satterfield's children are represented in the collection, including Pattie, Susan, Ida, and Mollie Satterfield.
