The collection includes genealogical information about the family of Johann Peter and Catherine Barbara Reid Anspach and a transcript of a letter, 1864 June 23, from Frederick Anspach, Liberty, Va., to his brother Robert Anspach. Frederick Anspach mentions the death and funeral of his grandfather Reuben Parker and the difficulty of getting a decent funeral. He also describes the arrival of Union forces commanded by David Hunter, George Crook, William Woods Averill, and Jeremiah Cutler Sullivan, in Liberty, Va., on June 15, 1864, who burned parts of the town, took food supplies, freed several slaves, and plundered several stores. The Union forces then marched to Lynchburg, met the Confederate forces commanded by Jubal Early, and retreated. During the retreat some skirmishes with the pursuing forces of Early occurred.
