In this letter written sometime between July and November 1864, Henry Marshall Misemer (1832-1865) writes his wife, Martha. H. M. Misemer shares his worry that the Rebels will come through where Martha lives and burn and take everything so they may starve. He believes the Lord will protect them. He says that he was told in confidence by an officer that they would be heading to East Tennessee so that they could vote in the upcoming election for President Lincoln and Vice President Andrew Jackson. Note that a few words on the edges are cut off or missing indicated by brackets on the transcript.
