Abstract
Sidney Brooks letter to his wife Susan Brooks in which he writes regarding his current situation as a delegate of the United States Christian Commission in the American Civil War. He writes that by the time Susan receives this letter, he will be well on his way towards Washington (D.C.). He says that the Rebel raids near Baltimore look worse in the morning papers than they really are. He goes on to write that he and Frank have been inspecting bulletins in the Reading Room that convince him that the railroad will not be cut out this side of Washington. Sidney notes that his purpose is to stop at Philadelphia and report to Mr. Stewart, the general agent. He writes that he and the other delegates have all received commissions and instructions and mentions a particular delegate, Mr. Morril. Sidney provides an address for Susan to write to him in Washington and mentions a letter she can publish in the Republican.
