In this letter of September 19, 1864, Henry Marshall Misemer (1832-1865) writes his "Dear wife," Martha Misemer, from Athens, Alabama. He writes with not much news, but is happy to hear she was missed by the raiders. He says General Rousseau got in trouble for not capturing Confederate General Wheeler and explains why. Some men in his company were killed or captured, but he stayed behind due to a lame horse.
