This is an original Civil War soldier’s letter. This letter is written from Camp in the Field two miles from Atlanta", Georgia and is dated July 23rd 1864. The soldier was writing home to "Dear Sister". It was written by Isaac Miller who was serving with the 93rd Ohio Infantry. Miller Enlisted on August 5th 1862 as a Private in the 93rd Ohio Infantry. He served with the regiment until he mustered out in Nashville, Tennessee on June 8th 1865. When opened up, the paper measures 10-1/2 inches by 8-1/4th inches in overall size. The paper is very thin with some separations along the fold lines. It is amazing that such thin paper survived over the years and it displays well. The letter is handwritten on fine quality paper in pencil. It comes with a type-written translation of the contents. Miller and the 97th were serving under General Sherman on his Georgia Campaign. He is telling his brother that "... we are laying in brest works and ar throwing shels at Atlanta. I don't know whether they go thare ar not the rebbels throw shells from there forts to us.". He adds how when the shells come in towards them, they run into the holes they have dug like rats. He tells of their splendid breastworks. It has lots of other cool content. It is a neat original Civil War soldier’s letter.
