He is telling his brother that "We had a very noisy night last night our batteries was firing on Atlanta all night. The rebbels threw some shells over at us one of our boys was sent in another world by one he was a cook for one of our captains.” He states that the shell entered the ground by his knapsack and came out by his side. He adds if it has been a few inches over it would have "… struck him on the top of the head a went threw him”. It has lots of other cool content. It is a neat original Civil War soldier’s letter.
