In this letter of August 15, 1862, G. J. Huntley writes his friends from his location near Gordonsville, Virginia to let them know he is unwell. He was in a fight but “came out without the mark of a bullet on me.” He hears that family is coming to visit and if they do, they can travel for half price by carrying something for the soldiers. 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.
