The events of this undated letter written by Henry Marshall Misemer (1832-1865) to his wife, Martha suggest that it was written in spring of 1864. H. M. informs his wife that he has sent some things with John Wright for her and the children. He tells her that if someone “goes to see the Sherriff of Monroe County and get him to appoint me as deputy sheriff I can get a discharge,” but she must not let anyone know. He tells her that his comrades respect him and anyone else trying to be a Christian, but they do not tolerate anyone who does not act like a Christian. He asks her to write every week and to burn the letter as soon as she reads it.
