Letters from William Wagenseller to Eli Slifer

William Wagenseller writes ten letters to Eli Slifer on a number of different topics, including funding a monument for his late brother and recommending his nephew for a position as a doctor in the Union army. In addition, Wagenseller provides information regarding a soldier who left military service without permission. This individual "was entirely ignorant of the punishment and it seems thought that his leaving would amount to but little as there were so many more men than could be accepted," as Wagenseller explains. Transcripts included.
