Description

This handwritten letter, dated January 22, 1865, is from J. D. (James D.) Lynch in Blakely, Alabama to his wife, Hettie Lynch, in West Point, Mississippi. The letter asks her to write him more often and tells her he's been sick. The letter goes on to speculate that both sides will concentrate their forces in Virginia and where he hopes he'll be sent. A short note to his sister and son are included at the bottom of the last page. The pages are discolored and heavily creased in multiple places.
