Most of the letters in this folder are about Charles Henry's enlistment in the 6th Regiment of the Massachusetts Infantry. Some of the letters mention the tension and unhappiness in the family about "brother against brother in the fatal conflict." They also mention Charles Henry's enlistment with the 26th Regiment along with his brother Luther and stepbrother Osgood Davis.
