- Letter from James O. Sanborn with the 4th New Hampshire Volunteers in Beaufort, SC, to his mother Betsey E. Sanborn in Webster, NH, dated March 8, 1863. In the letter, James writes that he believes they will be moving soon, perhaps to Savannah. He mentions the large naval fleet that will be going with them and that while he hopes the rebellion will end soon, he will not give up and will fight for the country. James inquires about letters from home and notes that if he should fall, they will meet again "in that happy land where [battles] are no more." The envelope includes a red printed image of soldiers in a line and stating "THE UNION - IT MUST BE PRESERVED. / FOURTH REVIMENT N. H. VOLUNTEERS."
