Correspondence, papers. Four letters from R.C. Craven, Company H, 3rd Regiment North Carolina Troops, dating from 1862-1865, are written from camps in North Carolina and Virginia, and discuss army life, skirmishes, scouting and related issues. William L. Jones, Company G, 48th Regiment, North Carolina Troops, Petersburg, Virginia, writes his brother in 1862 regarding scouting experiences. Thomas Stephens, Evans Port near Richmond, Virginia, writes his brother and sister in 1861 regarding life in active duty. W.L. Jones, Petersburg, Virginia, writes in 1862 his brother, describing a battle near Richmond. Also, in 1864, an unnamed soldier writes from Camp Gordon near Lawrenceville Ford, Virginia, to an editor, asking to print a message of thanks in his paper to Maggie S. and Francis M. Forbes of McIntosh County, Georgia, for the clothing and related materials sent to him. Overall, this collection could be very meaningful for students and authors having time to devote to thoughtful study of the papers.
