Chiefly correspondence between William Henry and Araminta Guilford Tripp during William's army service, 1861-1865, at Fort Fisher, Fort Holmes, and Fort Alexander, all on the North Carolina coast. Most letters are from William, who wrote of camp life, his own health, blockade running, and the conduct of the war in general. He also offered advice on how the farm was to be run in his absence. Also included are post-Civil War letters, an addendum from North Carolina Troops, 1861-1865; and from Confederate Veteran, volume XV; and a list of attendees at the 1992 Tripp family reunion.
