In this letter of November 22, 1861, G. J. Huntley writes to friends and relations about his travel to the camp in High Point by train with a long stop in Charlotte. He describes the condition of the camps, the plentiful food, and the rampant sickness in the camp. He writes that 180 of his regiment are in the hospital with "mumps and measles mostly." This letter is the first in a series of 46 that Huntley wrote home while serving in the 34th Regiment of N. C. Volunteers during the Civil War.
