Letter from Frank to Parents, December 14, 1862

I wish I could say that I had this letter in my grubby little paws, but alas, I do not.

I am, however, fortunate enough to find a website that has an image of the letter along with a transcription of its contents.

Battle of Fredericksburg Letter

Yes, it's a letter that Frank wrote on the battlefield. Mortars and bullets flying at him, and he stops for a moment to write a letter home...brilliant. In three days, his life will change completely.
