Book excerpt: This collection consists of two letters written during the American Civil War. The first, dated 13 August 1862, is from Valentine Ruhle to Rebeca Staines. He recounts his intent to live with her after the war. He apologizes for the quality of the handwriting in the letter, attributing it to "much fuss" at the time of writing. The second letter, written circa 1863, is from Samuel Ruhle in Washington City to his sister Mary. He details life at Camp Curtin, Pennsylvania (PA), such as pricing local food items like eggs, butter, and ripe cherries. He states that they receive bread every day from the bakery but pies are required to be bought for thirty cents each. He discusses observations he made of white and black women and mentions his brother, Valentine, who has been discharged from the service. Samuel states he will send Mary a present and for her to reply if she receives the letter. He also references Rebecah, to whom the other letter in this collection was written (same woman, though spelled differently).
