This is a letter from John Wheeler, a union soldier, to his friends and family in his hometown. Wheeler has been sick and is still recovering. New conscripted soldiers are arriving, and his regiment has gotten over 150 new soldiers. He discusses the quality of the artillery the North has, which he thinks will help capture Fort Sumpter. The rebel newspapers have been filled with Southern boasting. Stamps are hard to come by, so he requests his family sends him some with each letter they write.
