ALS 8 pp. 1861-12-07 Letter from Adelaide E. Case to Charles N. Tenney

Addie describes a recent visit with George Moore who brought news of Charlie's own Company H, and provides details of an unwanted evening visit from James Beebe. She mentions her plans for the upcoming Winter and Spring, and becomes passionate when describing a lecture she attended by missionary Rev. Dr. (Cooley?), reflecting on the possibility that the present war might free America from “the curse of slavery”.
