Civil War Letter 1862 Willing To Give Myself Country Blood Be Shed Christian VTG

Description

An original Civil War letter dated 1862.   In one area it looks like it says,........Mr. Varker thinks that there will no drafting done, but his thoughts about it did not keep me from coming, it was because it looked to much like a coward, and rather than to be called a coward I would remain even if there was danger of being drafted.............it is no weak cause, no disgraceful one I am willing to give my self to my Country, that country for which my fathers bled. And if necessary let my blood be shed...........There seems to be but a short distance to the Christian between the battlefield and Heaven why then should we so dread to go.............I am willing to go  go, willing to remain and risk the draft, but if my Parents are opposed I will not go.......................
The letter has wear and stain marks.
