Scope and Contents note
Ten letters to “sample,” a friend and potential suitor who is evidently fighting in the Civil War as a Union soldier. “TSE Co. A 5th __” is written on the outside of one of the letters. The letters discuss news from home, dances and other social engagements, and hopes for his safe return home. She also describes a trip to Philadelphia, where she stayed at the American Hotel.
