Health

In this letter from May 15, 1864, Thomas Jefferson “Jeff” Whitman writes from Brooklyn, N.Y. to his sister Han. He talks about their brother, George Whitman, hoping he makes it out of the war with his health intact for their mother’s sake. He also expresses concern for Han’s health and explains why George was unable to visit Han on his short trip home.
