Abstract
Sidney Brooks letter to his sister Harriet Newell (Brooks) written while working as a delegate of the United States Christian Commission in the American Civil War. He tells Harriet how much he enjoys the travelling case she made him and describes how he uses it. Sidney goes on to provide Harriet with descriptions of his sleeping quarters and accommodations (a tent with cots close together), the way the men there interact and joke with one another, and his work as a delegate. Sidney also writes regarding how the soldiers see him and react to him as a delegate.
