Papers and photographs, 1863.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/56960483

A poem, written by Mrs. Charles Larkin for her son Courtland Larkin (1st Heavy Artillery and 38th Wisconsin Infantry), expressing her desire for his safety while fighting in the Civil War. The poem was apparently folded and carried by Larkin during the war. A bullet hole, which went through the poem, most likely occurred on June 17, 1864 when Larkin was wounded at Petersburg (Virginia). Also found is a promotional certificate. There are five carte de visite photographs each with bullet damage including photos of William Kershaw, Julia R. Pierce, Phoebe Bumham, and Mrs. Charles Larkin.
