Letter from George at camp at Triune, Tenn., to his sister Eliza, 1863 April 2
Fighting illness over several days, George says that he is inclined to be homesick.
He expresses how deeply he misses everyone in Minnesota. He complains that, at home in Minnesota, times are bad, as prices have risen. He expresses dismay at his father who thinks that the Rebels are getting the better of us and will gain their independence.
George, however, expresses confidence that the war will soon be over with the Unionists emerging victorious.
