Description

In this letter of March 28, 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. He informs her that her brothers are well and gives her some details of Cahaba Federal Prison where he was held as prisoner for the past six months, but says he will tell the rest when he is home. He also shares the conditions at Camp Fisk and what he has heard from Camp Andersonville, which saw much worse conditions than Cahaba. He shares the news of Company F, his regiment and asks her to tell the children that he wants to see them and to pray.
