A certificate of non-liability, 1864 June 30, from the New Jersey Board of Enrollment, exempts Crandell from military duty as he has furnished a substitute. in a letter 1865 August 10, E.H. Crandell discusses leaving portraits of Abraham Lincoln with Fowler & Wells and mentions Joseph Bardwell Lyman and [Laura Elizabeth Baker Lyman?]. In a letter 1869 June 11, Charles H. Landis expresses appreciation for Crandell's article on the Vineland colony. In an undated letter fragment, Joseph B. Lyman discusses General John Watts DePeyster and a commission, as well as DePeyster's library and house; the Hudson and Tivoli line, Laura Elizabeth Baker Lyman; the changing scope of a Civil War book to avoid "following in the wake of William Swinton"; a Mr. Bacon and another publishing venture; and a beautiful Miss Dawson. An undated letter from an unknown correspondent discusses a Mr. Bromley and the corn fodder man. There are also six envelopes to Crandell which do not match any of the letters.
