Abstract

Letter to Rhoda Barnes from her husband Milton Barnes. Milton is at a field hospital with an injury he received at Nashville where a shell exploded near him, nearly killing him. While there, he learns that his unit is among others fighting confererate general John Bell Hood's men. He expresses concern that others might think that he was in the rear, farther away from the action when he received his wound.
