Civil War letters of James L. Dinwiddie describe his service as an artillery lieutenant under Richard Stoddert Ewell. Especially of interest are his detailed accounts of a forced march from the Valley to Richmond and the subsequent battle of Gaines Mill. Post-war letters between Bettie Carrington Dinwiddie and members of the Carrington family report family news. Many are letters of condolence on the deaths of children. The collection also contains daguerreotypes, ambrotypes and a tintype of family members.
