Description

This handwritten letter, dated March 17, 1862, is written from J. D. (James D.) Lynch in Corinth, Mississippi to his wife, Hettie Lynch in West Point, Mississippi. The letter describes his trip to Corinth, the people he's met with, and lets her know his group will be heading to Perdy on the Tennessee River next. The letter goes on to describe what things are like, the generals and troops in the area, and confesses that he feels as though his group is being used merely as couriers.
