Write one letter from a Union or Confederate soldier to a civilian family member. Write the other letter from a civilian family
member in the North or the South to a soldier. In each letter, include at least three details that indicate what life was like for each letter writer. Also convey your ideas clearly, using standard English.
To write their letters home, soldiers purchased paper, envelopes, ink and pens from sutlers. Stationary makers printed many styles of patriotic stationary and envelopes with engravings of camp scenes or political humor and these were quite popular among soldiers.
