The collection consists of letters Camden Evans wrote to his wife and her father in Columbus (Ga.) from 1862-1864. He wrote
from numerous camps in towns including Tupelo (Miss.), Murfreesboro (Tenn.), and Ringgold and Dalton (Ga.). In his letters
he complained about how badly privates were treated and the lack of food and clothing. He asked Mr. Laney to bring him a boy
to wash his clothes and forage for food, and he constantly tried to arrange for a furlough or a substitute. He gave his opinions
of Generals Grant, Johnson, Bragg and Hardee. By May 22, 1864 he was near Atlanta and described having no clean clothes for
three weeks, and being on picket duty for 24 hours without relief. By July 12, 1864 he had learned of his son Bobbie's death.
His last letter is dated July 17, 1864. There is one letter from Emma to her husband and several letters from her after the
war to her mother. In these she mentioned her second husband Steve Smith, her daughter Daisy, and a move to Birmingham (Ala.)
