Letter from Ruebn at Jefferson Barracks Hospital to Eliza, 1862 September
Ruebn states that he is now very afraid for his son, especially after hearing of a battle near Corinth. It would kill me if George was killed,
he writes. He expresses his dismay that his other son, Nelson, has enlisted, and he remarks that the family is now spread throughout the nation.
