This is a letter from John Wheeler, a union soldier, to his family. Wheeler describes the awful conditions he's seen civilians go through during his time in the war. Many people are starving in towns occupied by the Union in the South. He mentions how women have to do a large amount of work in the absence of the men fighting in the war. Also, one of Wheeler's friends hurt himself by jumping over a creek and might be discharged.
