http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/33184426

Letters written between Dr. E.W. Treadwell and his wife, Mattie C. Treadwell, when he was a medical student at the Medical College of Georgia in Augusta, Ga., and when he was serving in the Confederate Army with the 19th Ala. Volunteers, probably as a medical officer. Letters are sometimes unusually explicit and detailed. Topics include their marital relationship and other family matters before and during the war; army camps in Mississippi and Alabama; conditions in Confederate military hospital; diseases in the camps. Mattie also mentions President Lincoln, Wade Hampton, and other Confederate officers. Among undated items is a prescriptive note from Dr. Treadwell to his pregnant wife with a reference to the use of opium.
