Abstract

Finding aid and typescripts (Click on "Additional Files" below) for Manuscripts Small Collection 3727. Letters of Mollie Hodges, Hart County, Kentucky, to her future husband Ambrose King, written during his Civil War U.S. Army service. She mourns their separation, mentions the Confederate presence near Burkesville, and recalls her visit to him in camp, where she found him in a sad state of mind. Distressed by his mood, she is anxious to keep up their correspondence.
