Back page of letter
Soldier’s letter with fancy stippling headed McPhersonville, So. Ca. August the 30th 1863 to Miss Louisa O. Whitmore and signed J.K. Lewis. Both spelling and grammar are a sometimes amusing challenge, e.g., “I haint no importante war nuse to communicate at present.” He states there are 30,000 troops in Charleston and “hope the Yankeys wont get Charleston…to right is all the satisfaction that wee have know and i low to make youse of it…” Charming 4 ½” x 6 ½” doubled side sheet with few small edge tears and bit of archival tape reinforcement. $300.
