In this letter of April 14, 1865, Henry Marshall Misemer (1832-1865) writes his "Dear wife," Martha Misemer, from near Vicksburg, Mississippi where he is at Camp Fisk, a parole camp. This letter is written on letterhead from the United States Sanitary Commission who provided the soldiers with personal items such as paper, pen, postage, tobacco pipes, newspapers, bibles, etc. He asks that she write to him as he has heard that she is well, but does not know if she is dead or alive, married or unmarried. He says he will write often once they get to the parole camp up north.
