Description

1863 March 31, Correspondence from J. Edward James, Brentwood, Tennessee, to Lizzie James, Galena, Illinois.

Excerpt: "I am very sorry indeed to hear of the trouble at the parsonage. Though I must say I am not much surprised yet I did not think it would come on so sudden. I had scarcely read your letters when, one of the boys in the tent read aloud a letter which had just came telling all about the affairs. But I cannot believe it is as bad as represented. Tell me in your next all about it. It must make the Weigley(?) family feel very unhappy. I think it rather late for such snow storms and it speaks for a late spring. Though weather here at present is cold and windy but the country looks beautiful. The fields of grain are all up and the woods are looking thick with young leaves."
