A good war-date Southern citizen's letter, 2pp. 8vo., written, in period ink, by Elbert S. Cassady (former private 9th Georgia), Lafayette, Ga., June 28, 1862 to his cousin Nannie E. Sawyers, in part: "…I was very sorry to hear of the destruction of property in your section of country [Blaine's Cross Roads, Grainger Co., Tenn.] by the enemy…there is a better coming…it is near at hand when victory will preach upon on banners and we will be free…I will write to Lewis as soon as they get to some point where they can get letters. The last time we heard from him they was at Gordonsville 70 miles above Richmond. I cant tell whether I will ever see any of you again…you had better come to Georgia until the war is over…we are to have a hostile army among us…E. S. Cassady…". The original transmittal cover is included. Near fine.
