This is a letter home to his family from a Confederate soldier on the eve of the Battle of Atlanta. The letter is held at the Altanta History Musem in Buckhead. If you read the letter, you can find mention of Atlanta-area landmarks like Stone Mountain. This letter was very moving to me, espically the script in which it was written - how exquisite for the battlefield conditions the writer had to endure. I took the photo when I was in Georgia back in August.
