Did you get the copy of the letter I sent the other day. Along with that letter I got one that was from one of mother's kinsman to my Uncle in the 1840s... Never knew there would be such a connection. Also got a 4in stack of letters written all through the civil war by a cousin to his wife. They will make you cry. He died at Elmira, NY.
