You will find here manuscript collections, several of which include letters written by soldiers to their loves, and a few from the ladies to their soldiers. These letters show their sorrows of being apart, fears that the soldier would not return home, and hopes for the future after the war's end. Some of the letters are comical, as is the letter from an unknown soldier to a woman who evidently answered his "lonely-hearts" advertisement or from another soldier to a friend asking her to tell any local "good-looking amiable young Lady" what he wished to marry when he returns from the war.
