Mamie Casey and William Dye Smith letters, 1899-1920.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/496030603

The Mamie Casey Letters consist primarily of letters written by William Dye Smith to Casey, his cousin, during the period he served in the army. The letters principally discuss his romantic relationship with Casey that began in 1896. Since there are no letters from Casey to Smith, it is not clear what her feelings were. The letters also reveal that Smith was married and had four children. Smith's discussions of military life are very limited however, of special interest is a hand-drawn map of a section of the Philippines where the Battle of Castillejos took place.
