In this letter of June 20, 1862, G. J. Huntley writes his father (William Lawrence Huntley, 1821-1899) from his location near Richmond, Virginia. Fighting is very close and a general engagement is certain. Huntley is ready for fighting as he states, “the hotter the war the sooner it is over and I am tired of living this way.” 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.
