O.G. Dunckel Letter : September 21, 1864

This is a letter from O.G. Dunckel, a Union soldier, to his wife Elizabeth and their children. Dunckel will probably be sent back to regular duty now after a long time at the hospital. He tells his son Frank that he's very proud of him for working all summer. He asks about the crops and how the family is faring with some of the children sick. He also asks if his son George went to Canada to avoid the draft or not.
