The collection consists of letters between members of the Binion family of Hancock County, Georgia from 1861-1864. Correspondents
include John R. Binion; his wife, Frances L. Butts; James F. Binion, serving with Company F of the 10th Georgia Infantry Regiment;
and Elizabeth A. Jones. The women write about typhoid and how it was treated, the community scare when an Irishman led African
Americans to kill whites, of making uniforms and sacks for soldiers, and crops. John R. Binion writes of camp life, from Camp
Satilla near Savannah, and Governor Joseph Brown's calling up the militia in 1864.
