War-date Union soldier's letter, 3pp. 8vo., written by Union soldier "W. H. F.", "Camp Maryland Heights", Sept. 8, 1864, reading, in part: "…you all can make yourselves comfortable & have no fears of the Rebels troubling as our army is strong enough to keep them from crossing into Maryland. No fighting has taken place of any consequence lately. About 100 prisoners was brought in today. They were captured last Saturday. They look well & hearty. They are tired of the war, especially since McClellan has been nominated by the Copperhead party from President. They do not like him. They say anybody but him. I hope it will soon be over and all may return to their homes. The prospect for peace looks very bright from Atlanta & Mobile, the Reelection of Lincoln & the capture of Richmond will go very near upsizing Jeff & his Confederacy…W. H. F." Minor toning else, VG. The original stamped transmittal cover is also included.
