Scope and Content

Four page correspondence on a single sheet of folded paper. In the top left corner of the first page is a stamp that reads "U.S. Sanitary Commission" in a shield that has the same design as the American flag. The letter is addressed "2d A.C. Hospital, City Point, Va, Nov 5th 64. Friend Ed" and signed on the fourth page "Yours Respectfully, John W. Dick, Ambulance Corps, 2nd Div, 2nd A.C., Washington D.C., Edgar M. Dick, Brothertown Wis. PS. I have no stamps so excuse a soldiers letter once more" and the last few words of the PS are written up the right edge of the last page. It talks about capturing prisoners and a rebel flag; asks about Edgar's fever; and asks who has recently been drafted from Brothertown.
