In this letter of March 19, 1862, G. J. Huntley writes to his friends from his location in Hamilton, NC stating that his health is very bad in part due to the water. The Yankies have taken Newbern. He voices his strong opinion about maintaining liberty and is only “willing to go back in the Union upon honorable terms and no others.” This letter is one of a series of 46 that Huntley wrote home while serving in the 34th Regiment of N. C. Volunteers during the Civil War.
