Letter from Charles N. Tenney to Adelaide E. Case
Praises her friendship; happy to receive a letter from her, which he will now answer. Fears
that she is suffering on his account, but he is actually very well, as Hallie will assure her.
Describes daily routine of the 3d Brigade. Began correspondence with Miss [Swancie?] Holcombe
of Oberlin to encourage the dispirited Sergeant Moore to get a similar correspondent; now she
has responded, and he wonders whether he shouldn't have Addie's permission to continue the
exchange. Recounts comments by fellows sitting around him. Mentions Chauncey Corn, now of Co.
A, 29th Regiment. They would like more newspapers, but don't send books, which are hard to
transport. Asks after "Auntie," Laurie and Miss [Hegloss]; Will Braden and Sergeant Moore send
their regards.
