The letters were written by Thomas R. Lounsbury to his friend Christine Doig (1827-1911), a native of Ovid, Seneca County, New York. Lounsbury wrote the letters in his leisure hours, so there is not much by way of battlefield content. The letters, however, are full of curious and insightful observations on the nature of the military service, the war, etc. The collection also includes a long letter by a Virginia woman named Virginia Soutter Knox to her brothers who were in the Confederate service; the letter probably fell in Lounsbury's hands and was sent to Christine Doig as a souvenir. The last letter is signed "C" (possibly, Doig's brother-in-law Curtis T. Benedict), dated 1887, August 5, and was written from "on the Rhine, Mainz to Cologne." Each letter has an annotated transcript, prepared by the donor.
