In this letter of April 27, 1862, G. J. Huntley writes friends to tell of his journey to Caroline County, Virginia. He talks about the location of the Yankies and is sad to learn of his friend Tolliver’s death. He also lets his friends know that everyone between the age of 18 and 35 will be recruited. He wants to join a mountain Regiment and so he will pay for someone older than 35 to come take his place. 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.
