Well-written four-page manuscript letter from Eliza A. Jones of New Canaan, Connecticut, addressed to her brother William M. Jones of Company B, 13th Connecticut Volunteers, then stationed in New Orleans. The letter discusses receipt of money and correspondence, references to Major Comstock, winter conditions affecting soldiers, and local community news including schooling and family matters. Of particular note is a pointed political remark criticizing the naming of a child after George B. McClellan, reflecting Northern civilian sentiment during the war. The 13th Connecticut was active in the Department of the Gulf, and the correspondence situates the soldier within the Red River Campaign period. Pickup & Shipping: Free pickup in Gardnerville, NV.
