Papers, 1861-1864.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/41150146

Consists of Civil War correspondence between R.R. Huddleston, 6th Regiment of the S.C. Volunteers, and his wife, Eliza A. (Chandler) Huddleston. The first two letters, headed "York District, S.C.," are love letters written before the couple married in 1861. Soon after this, R.R. left for the war. His letters during the period 1862-1864 are from various places in Va., and contain occasional comments on battles and camp life. In one letter (Sept. 12, 1863) Huddleston recounts to his wife the story of having to watch as two fellow South Carolinians were shot for desertion.
