Description
This “home front” letter was written jointly by Joseph Freeman (1791-1865) and his second wife, Abigail (Gross) Freeman (1805-1879) of Minot, Androscoggin county, Maine. They wrote the letter to their son, Lt. Joseph Hewett Freeman (1841-1931) of Co. G, 23rd Maine Infantry—a nine-month’s regiment. They were never under fire during the ten months they were in service but they lost 50 men by disease and two by accident. Joseph later served as Captain of Co. H, 14th Maine Infantry. Four pages with postal cover. Please see fourth and fifth pages for scans of the full transcription. (Transcription and description courtesy of William Griffing)
