Abstract
Letter to Rhoda Barnes from her husband Milton Barnes. Milton mentions hardships the 62nd Ohio Volunteers regiment is facing including lack of supplies and poor living conditions. General "Stonewall" Jackson, Colonel Ashby, and Major General John C. Fremont are mentioned as well as the Battle of Yorktown. On a domestic note, Barnes communicates his hopes that money he has sent will soon arrive at Rhoda's door and in turn he is looking forward to receiving letters written by her hand.
