This collection consists of correspondence from Levi Dysinger, a Union soldier, to his wife Harriet in Paulding County, Ohio. The letters were written from Huntsville, Alabama, and date from March to May of 1865. They recount how Dysinger's brothers, Henry and Isaac, contracted (and eventually died from) measles while soldiers. Dysinger also describes a trip he made to Aikens Landing, Virginia, where Civil War prisoners were exchanged. In addition, he mentions Grant's taking Richmond and Petersburg, which most likely refers to the fall of Petersburg during the Appomattox Campaign (March-April 1865). This defeat led to the evacuation of Petersburg and Richmond, the Capitol of the Confederacy, by order of General Lee. Finally, the letters encourage his wife to find strength in her faith while he is away, as he does.
