From the Collection:

In a letter to his father dated simply February 7th, Union Corporal James M. Stuart writes home to his father. He consoles him extensively about the absence of all his sons, telling him to make God and the church his family for the time being until they all return home. He speaks basically of the monotony of camp life, but says that Confederate soldiers have been deserting to his commanding officer in large numbers.
