Union soldier's war-date letter, 3pp. folio, written by Pvt. Montgomery Hickman, Co. I, 97th Illinois Vols., Nicholasville, KY, Nov. 2, 1862, to his wife, in part: "…I am glad he has got through with his tobacco…I am afraid I will have to quit the use of the weed, it has become so dear. It costs me about one dollar a week now and the price is still increasing…Uncle Sam provides very bountifully for his children…as for clothing I have more…than I like to carry…we have been here two days and I think we will start again in the morning…M. Hickman." The original transmittal cover is included. VG
