His military records report him to have been 6’1 with blue eyes and dark hair. He enlisted in August of 1862, but he died of disease while on leave only a little more than a year later in December of 1863 at his home in Montgomery County. His letter showcases his romantic interest in Sophronia and is one of the best examples of courtship through letter writing in this edition.
