Container Summary

Contains 2 ALS addressed from Detroit, Michigan. @ Letter dated 4/30/1863: "My dear Julia - You may think it hard for me not to consent for the present to let you all come again to your old City Detroit where so many pleasant days and happy hours have been spent in your early life, but if you knew the dangers of making the trip from being made prisoners of the Confederate piratical steamers that fill the coast on this side - besides the amount of suffering - that people here now who are enjoying every degree of pleasure that they chose to adopt may in a few short months find themselves as far on the opposite side instead of enjoyment, suffering all the miseries incident to a civil war." @ Letter dated 5/12/1863 - More family news from Michigan.
