In this letter of April 24, 1863, G. J. Huntley writes his friends from Camp Gregg near Guiney Station, Virginia. He remembers spring before he was “trampled down by the fetters of a soldier’s life.” He reports on boys he has seen from Rutherford. He had a tooth pulled with 7 pulls. He tells his dad to get into a business that will keep him out of the war. 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.
