Well-written Civil War letter dated June 28, 1864, from a Union soldier writing three miles west of Kennesaw Mountain during the Atlanta Campaign. The writer describes recent mail delays, camp conditions, and the expectation of resumed movement toward Chattanooga, while noting the threat of Confederate artillery fire, stating that “the Rebs takes a notion to shell us some times and I want to stop before they commence.” The letter reflects the temporary lull following the Battle of Kennesaw Mountain as Union forces regrouped before continuing their advance toward Atlanta, providing a firsthand account from a soldier positioned near active operations in the Western Theater.
