The ink is a faint brown and hard to read in many areas. The letter is addressed "Camp on the field near Petersburg, VA June 30th 1864, Worthy and esteemed Friend". It is signed on the third page "I am as ever John. W. Dick, to Edgar M. Dick, address as before". It talks about how his regiment has recently lost 15 and 76 were wounded and only one from "Brothertown stock" is left, the others are either wounded or sick. He finishes his letter by saying his going to eat ice cream and drink lemonade.Collection
