Also included are photocopies of White's military records and a few letters from Rufus White of the 48th North Carolina Infantry Regiment to his mother and cousins. Many of the letters from Albert are signed A. M. and G. W. White. White wrote from Northampton County, N.C., and Richmond, Va., in July 1861 and then from Manassas Junction, Va., late July 1861 until March 1862. In the spring of 1862, White wrote from southeastern Virginia. He was wounded on 31 May 1862 and wrote from a hospital in Richmond in June and July. There are no letters for August-December 1862 or June-December 1863. In 1864, White's regiment was in central and then western Virginia. In the fall of 1864, White wrote from the Shenandoah Valley. Early in 1865, he wrote from central Virginia, near Petersburg. The letters describe military life, give news of friends in the regiment, and request supplies and letters from home.
