The letters from his family describe day-to-day activities, including cheese making and farm work. The collection also contains correspondence from a friend of Joshua's, Royal Taylor, in reply to his inquiries about Worthy's whereabouts in the fall of 1864 and information regarding searches of hospitals and gravesites.
