Letter, 11 March [18]64, from J[ohn] M. Hamilton to his brother, Capt. D.H. Hamilton, Columbia, S.C., was written from the camp of the Marion Artillery at Church Flats near Charleston, S.C., and expresses his displeasure at a letter from their mother that criticized his spelling - "that put an end to my writeing home." John anticipated a ten-day furlough soon and would pass through Columbia but would not stop; however, he hoped that his brother would "try and get me a derserter if you can."
