1864 letter Steven.B Madden

Dear: beloved wife

The war is not going as plan, Atlanta has fallen and the north is taking over and destroying every thing. we are placed in south Carolina, the north has wiped out everything in there path and destroying all of are supplies. Atlanta is one of are major manufacturing  areas and this is taking a major tool on us. Sherman's group is very reckless and dangerous they have destroyed are communication and split us apart from the confederate, and destroyed all the farms and houses. I hope you and the children are okay this war is becoming mayhem and the north is growing much more stronger. I wish I was with you right now and the children but the south needs my help. we will be moving camps in a couple of days because the fall of Atalanta but we shall give a good fight.

Sincerely: Steven.B Madden
