Abstract
This is the last letter Milton Barnes sent from the Shenandoah Valley in Virginia and his last as an officer of the 62nd Ohio Volunteers. Subsequently he tendered his resignation due to physical and mental pain. In this letter he mentions his poor health and describes the trying march from New Market to Harrisonburg, Virginia. Barnes confirms that he has received Rhoda’s last letters and he lists some of the newspapers he has access to for news.
