Description

In this letter of June 18, 1865 Martha J. Misemer (1835-1882) writes her "Dear Brother," Philip Misemer who is her late husband, H. M. Misemer's brother. She wants to answer a question in a letter Philip had written to his brother and which she has in her possession. She assures Philip that his brother was a Christian. She asks for Philip to sympathize with her and the children and knows that the other brothers, who fought for the Confederate army are likely rejoicing at their brother's death aboard the Sultana.
