I have not heard from you since, but, our mails are irregular. I hope, however, you have been enjoying yourself. I would like very much to accompany you in your visit. But, as I can’t be with you, I hope you will have a pleasant visit. We are still here, without any definite knowledge of what we are to do. But we are making calculations to stay here this winter. All hands are at work putting up cabins, for winter quarters. Lieut. Mullin (Lieutenant David W. Mullin) & I commenced one last week. We got it raised yesterday. We expect to have it finished this week. We are building it of round logs 12 by 16 feet with a chimney in one end. I will give you a description of it when it is finished. We may have to leave them before winter. We are building at a venture. There has been several heavy frosts here within the last week. It is raining this afternoon. I went https://digitalsc.lib.vt.edu/files/original/4755/Ms2015-051_ConleyIsaiah_1862_xx26b.jpg 28eac7f8fcd0d6fd38ca03748f05e8c6 PDF Text Text to town to church this forenoon, and it com- menced raining while I was there, so I had to come back to Camp, through the rain. An expedition some 6,000 or 8,000 strong left here on Friday evening for Blackwater. They have just returned, I understand they drove the enemy from Franklin. I have not learned particulars. None of our Brigade were with them. I have not heard anything from Martin, for sometime. We had a Grand Review of all the troops here, last Wednesday by Gen. Peck (Major General John J. Peck) It was a fine military display. There is to [be] another to morrow, by Gen. Dix (Major General John Adams Dix) If the rain continues, however, it will have to be post- poned. The health of the troops here is pretty good. The sick list is small. I see the draft has made some very good hits in the upper end of Bedford Co. I have directed all my letters to Schellsburg as you instructed me. I hope we will soon know whether we are to stay here this winter or not. So that I can let you know whether to come on or not.

I would like very well to get home for short time to see you & the children and settle up some business. I dont want you to think I am sick of the service. If I live, and am favor with good health, I intend to fight as lone as the rebellion lasts. The only thing I dis- like is being away from my family so long. I think of you daily and often think how much I would enjoy a chat with you and a romp with the children. A man hardly realizes how dear his family are to him until he is seper- ated from them. It is now about eight months since I was last at home. But, that time, with me, has passed almost unnoticed. Much of the time we have spent in active service. And know of no way in which time flies so rapid- ly as to soldier in the field, in camp where we are laying quiet, it passes slowly. The winter will appear long. Remember me kindly to my friends. Write often, and believe me ever Affecty Your Husband I. Conley Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

I was detailed this afternoon in charge of about 30 men to repair the road in the direction of Yorktown. About 200 hands in all were at work. We fixed up about two miles of it so that teams can travel. This was the first time I ever played Super- visor. I sent my Commission in Lieut. Mullin’s (Lieutenant David W. Mullins) trunk this morning. The trunk was directed to Dr. Mullin when it arrives you will please get the Commission and take care of it until I get home. While I am writing Harry, our cook, is making our bed. Which consists of Sundry blankets, Comforts and overcoats. Our bed steads are the Mother earth. I will now give you some idea of the appearance of our humble abode. We have a markee [sic] about 10 feet square, In this we have a small camp stove, two trunks One mess chest, one box for clothing, one Camp Stove our cooking utensils with the kettle etc (?). In short we have all our “household and Kitchen furniture,” When we come to make Our beds, we pile up the “furniture” on one https://digitalsc.lib.vt.edu/files/original/4710/Ms2015-051_ConleyIsaiah_1862_0410b.jpg be2df018918711949ea91eb43bef14d5 PDF Text Text side, and make our beds in the other. I have often wondered whether our wives would be willing to come down to this kind of living. How would you like to keep house, with a family of four persons, in a house ten feet square, and one story high? But, I can tell you that it goes very well, when you get used to it. We have news today of another victory, at Pittsburg Landing, Tenn. and also another at Island No. 10. It is reported that Gen. Sidney Johnston (General Albert Sidney Johnston) was killed and Beauregard (General Pierre Gustave Toutant Beauregard) wounded at Pittsburg Landing. Johnson was the best General the rebels had. You will soon hear of some decisive blows Being stuck by the army of the Potomac. Friday morning Apl. 11- We had a heavy frost This morning and some ice. The weather Is clear and bright.

I do not recollect whether I told you before that we had a little prospect of a fight last Friday- The Merrimac, with several other other [sic] rebel steamers came out into Hampton Roads, opposite where our Division lays.

In my letter of last Friday I gave you an account of our march to this place. We are still in the same place we were then, about 1 ½ miles north of Warwick Court House. We are within about 2 miles of nearest rebel fortifications. We can hear the report of a musket shot from their lines. some of our boys have been out on Picket, in sights of their fortifications. Some skirmish- ing is going on every day between small parties of the two armies.

Between 9 and 10 O Clock we heard heavy musketry. apparently about 2 miles from here. We rec’d an order, and in less than five min- utes our regt. was in line of battle. Where we remained for about an hour and a half, the firing having in the meantime ceased, we were ordered back to our quarters. Everything passed quietly until 2 O Clock this morning when the firing was again renewed. In three minuts [sic] time we were again in line of battle, where we remained about an hour. The firing having again ceased, we were ordered back to quarters. All of this was done amidst a soaking rain. I was in command of our company, and if we had got into a fight I would have been the only command officer with our company, the Capt. (Captain William B. Sprague) https://digitalsc.lib.vt.edu/files/original/4713/Ms2015-051_ConleyIsaiah_1862_0420c.jpg 83543456a68e39049eee547d63dee5b5 PDF Text Text and Mullin (Lieutenant David W.

We may get into a fight at anytime, but I do not think there will be any heavy engagement soon. But let that be as it may, when the time does come, we will try and do our duty. Our boys all acted nobly last night, all were eager for the fray I never felt cooler in my life.

I hope they will continue so, for it gives me a great deal of anxiety to know that they are sick. I am enjoying very good health. We have not yet. had any fighting to do, though we have several times marched out expecting a fight. Our regt. is doing a great deal duty, Such as Guard, Picket wall-making & c. About half of our Company is out every day on some kind of duty. Yesterday after- noon our whole regt. went out to support the Pickets, in case of an attack, and remained out until this evening, We lay in the roads a short distance inside of the Pickets I took with me a woolen Blanket and an oil cloth one, Last night I wrapped these around me, laid down under a big Pine tree, and slept until morning. This morning I got https://digitalsc.lib.vt.edu/files/original/4714/Ms2015-051_ConleyIsaiah_1862_0424b.jpg c4c19b4649cd8d9c3a1d0b0be53f16e1 PDF Text Text up and cooked my own breakfast, and also my own dinner. My breakfast consisted of a tin cup full of Coffee which I made in the tin cup, two slices of flitch & two crackers, fried together in a tin plate, dinner ditto. This evening we had light bread for supper this is the first we have had since we’ve been here. It cost from 12 ½ to 25 cts per loaf. I saw three rebel prisoners this evening. They were brought in, I believe by one Picket, I saw them at Gen. Casey’s (General Silas Casey) Head Quarters- They were har the hardest looking soldiers I have ever seen, Filthy as it was possible for human beings to be. There is some commanding going on nearly every day within two or three miles of us. but, we get to know very little of the results. We can hear the bands playing & Drums beating nearly every night. But. we take it all as coolly as if there were no rebels near. Our boys are cheerfull [sic] and lively- and all anxious to get a chance at the enemy. The weather here is quite warm. The forest trees are puting out their leaves. https://digitalsc.lib.vt.edu/files/original/4714/Ms2015-051_ConleyIsaiah_1862_0424c.jpg b40ab346b69ff3e80588bbf91ad36c4b PDF Text Text The mud is drying up, but, we still have plenty.

Mullin has handed in his resignation and as soon as it is accepted he is going home We have not had a mail for three days, but expect one tomorrow. It is very seldom we get to see any papers here. So you see we are cut off from the outside world, pretty effective- ly. The fact is we get to know very little of what our army is doing. Not half as much as you get to know at home. But it is drawing towards bedtime and I have no more news that would interest you. I am sitting on my trunk and writing on my Mess Chest by the light of a candle.

By placing the slips of paper upon which the names are written, below the picture, you will find them in the same order they are in the pictures. We have had no news for several days.

Before Yorktown Va. April. 28 1862 My Dear Carrie, Yours of 20th inst reached me this morning. I was glad to hear from you as it was a week since I had heard from you. This letter was a behind time. I was glad to learn that you were all well. You ask about “two or three boats” which you say had been taken from Casey’s division. This is not correct, for we have no boats with our Division, ours is only a land force. The boats you refer to we three small scooners [sic] that were captured in Hampton Roads. while we were laying near New Port News. We were some four or five miles from there, and did not have charge of the scooners [sic]. They were however, small and of little value. You say that J. E. Cohn told you that the rebels would have as large a force, at Yorktown as we would. he has but little idea of the force that we are concentrating here. The rebels force will no doubt be large and they will fight. But we will have https://digitalsc.lib.vt.edu/files/original/4716/Ms2015-051_ConleyIsaiah_1862_0428b.jpg 26fc774c4a499b4a549b1efcb3369dd0 PDF Text Text Such an army there as has not been concentrated at battle in modern warfare. No Statements are published, of the extent of our force. But, I have had an oppertunity [sic] to see some things for myself. We have within five miles of us not less than 350 pieces of field artilery [sic], besides a very large number of seige guns. I have full confidence in the success of our army when the proper time arrives. That time I do not believe will come for some time yet. If civilians will just leave the arrangement of plans with our generals, and the fighting to our soldiers, I have no doubt but the results will be most glorious. You need not credit exagerated [sic] stories concerning affairs here, for the public know but little of what is going on here. Nor will they know they know much until there are some decisive results. Meanwhile things are progressing satisfactorily. You say you are afraid [sic] of me getting sick, or being taken prisoner. As to the first, I never enjoyed better health in my life. And I do not feel much afraid of being taken prisoner, https://digitalsc.lib.vt.edu/files/original/4716/Ms2015-051_ConleyIsaiah_1862_0428c.jpg 909babfcdb02ba69a3322ab2ef748436 PDF Text Text While you and the rest of our friends at home are fretting about our fate.

April 28, 1863 My Dear Wife, Your very welcome letter of 16th inst. was rec’d yesterday. We returned yesterday morning from Washington having been absent from here about ten days. We came down from there on a transport. All is again quiet in this Department- the rebs since their miserable failures at this place & Washington have withdrawn. Our force is too small to follow them, So everything has settled down into perfect, quiet again. Gen. Foster (Brigadier General John G. Foster) has proven himself a man of Courage, Skill, and energy. His entire force in the Department, scarcely exceeds 12,000 men yet with this Small force he has held Beaufort, more head City, Newbern, Roanoke Island, Washington, & Plymouth, whilst he has been menaced at nearly every one of these points for the last two months by a largely superior force of the enemy under Gen D. H. Hill (Major General Daniel Harvey Hill) He has baffled them at every point. For the past two months we have lived in https://digitalsc.lib.vt.edu/files/original/4764/Ms2015-051_ConleyIsaiah_1863_0428b.jpg d2bc2b726903f208981915825b76495a PDF Text Text about daily expectation of a fight but it has all passed off with nothing more than some Skirmishing. The Brigade of Penna. Militia are now Stationed at Washington. Our Brigade, we understand is to be sent to Plymouth except one Reg’t which will be Stationed on Roanoke Island. Our business there will be to garrison and hold those points. From the Orders we have we expect to leave for there in a few days; and be likely to remain there Some time Gen. Wessell (General Henry W. Wessells) is to take Command of that Sub-Depart- ment. Which will include Plymouth, Elisabeth [sic] City, & Roanoke Island. At least that is the arrangement as it now stands. I feel quite well again. The news we have from other depart ments of the Army- notwithstanding the failure at Charleston- looks encouraging. There is a very great Scarcity of Provision in this part of the rebeldom, many families through the Country where we have marched are in a destitute and almost starving condition. Prisoners that we have captured lately say that https://digitalsc.lib.vt.edu/files/original/4764/Ms2015-051_ConleyIsaiah_1863_0428c.jpg 73db943f19394e21de9f5469db0293cf PDF Text Text all the rations they have drawn for Sometime, has been 1/4 lb meat & 1 lb. of Corn meal a day. I have heard Several prisoners Say this myself. A deserter who came in to our lines at Washington, Said, in my presence, that his only reason for leaving them was that he could’nt [sic] stand it any longer on the rations, they were getting. He was however a rank Secesh. I had a letter to-day from Martin, he was well. April 29- As there has no mail left here since we returned from Washing- ton, I have not been in a hurry mailing my letter. The mail leaves at 4 this Afternoon. Lt. Evans (Lieutenant Nathan C. Evans) leaves here on the same boat for Bedford. I send with him a package for you containing Three hundred & twenty five Dollars, and two Commissaries, and with it a letter telling you what to do with it. I instructed Lieut. Evans to give the package to Mr. Bunn and ask him to deliver it. We were paid for four months. https://digitalsc.lib.vt.edu/files/original/4764/Ms2015-051_ConleyIsaiah_1863_0428d.jpg e0765e27308e36500e52a8fddad3b7c9 PDF Text Text I have not time to write more now, as I have Muster Rolls to make out to day.

Apl. 4 1862 Dear Wife, After a weeks march, I feel this evening again as if I was at quite at home. As I have given you an account of my march up to yesterday morning. I will now commence where I left off. The five co’s on the Georgia, who I told you yesterday morning were anchored, off the Fort, instead of landing there, got orders to land at Newport News. We then got orders to march to this place. The look up on line of march at 11 A. M. (Yesterday) After marching about 1 ½ miles we came to the ruins of the town of Hampton, which was burned several months ago by the rebels. Alas! what a sight! What must have once been a beautiful village of from two to three thousand inhabitants, is now a blackened, crumbled mass of ruins I am told they fired it house by house. even, an elegant church within the enclosure of which, is a burying ground https://digitalsc.lib.vt.edu/files/original/4708/Ms2015-051_ConleyIsaiah_1862_0404b.jpg dfbd842ec048b1c1cfbfa1f27f7891a0 PDF Text Text was not spared. It’s blackened walls, spectre-like, stand to attest Heinish [sic] properties of the enemies of our Country. My heart almost sank within me When I beheld this scene of destruction. After passing that we marched some 6 or 7 miles though flat. Swampy land much of which was covered with pine. Everywhere, desolation to be seen. Scarcely a building or fence remained. We halted about 2 miles north west of Newport News, but having no tent, we rolled ourselves up in our blankets. and lay down, with the ground for our bed, and the broad Canopy of Heaven for our covering. I slept very soundly, and awoke this morning feeling quite refreshed after our march, which was made beneath the hottest April Sun I have ever felt. The heat was oppressive. This even our baggage & Camp Equip- age arrived, and we have now got our tents up. The Spring is quite advanced here, Peach & Plum trees are in full bloom. https://digitalsc.lib.vt.edu/files/original/4708/Ms2015-051_ConleyIsaiah_1862_0404c.jpg b66698bbbf17084d958b75ad0a66db22 PDF Text Text We are within five or six miles of the enemy. The distance from here to Norfolk is about Seven miles. I was at Newport News to day. and with the assistance of a field glass, I could see a number of rebel Camps on the other side of the James River. I also saw three rebel Flags waving in the same locality. But, I think their time there is growing short, there is a movement going on here that will probably sur- prise the world in a few days. the army is really amazing. not less than from 30,000 to 40,000 troops passed by our Camp to day on their way towards Yorktown and I was told they were going all day by two or three other roads I think not much less than 100,000 men were moving to day in that direction. While a very large force are still in advance of them. A light has been visible all evening in the direction of Yorktown, and it is rumored that https://digitalsc.lib.vt.edu/files/original/4708/Ms2015-051_ConleyIsaiah_1862_0404d.jpg 8b3dbe9d9de0bf832ed6a40c6f7653ae PDF Text Text the town was fired to day by the rebels, It is generally believed here that the light seen here is the burning of that town. The distance is about 20 miles. Gen. McClellen [sic] (General George B. McClellan) is with the army here, Stirring times are close at hand. We of course do not know how some we will advance. I take our company on Picket tomorrow. we are however only placed on the inside pickets. We will be but a short distance from camp, but will have to remain out 24 hours. Poison was found in one of the springs, one of which we get water this evening, It was fortunately discovered in time to prevent any harm being done I hope we will catch somebody at some of those tricks. I suppose you are moved and I hope all well, I am quite well. Kiss Annie and Harry for me. My love to you all write some Affectely Your Husba I. Conley Direct Lieut. I. Conley Co. G 101st Regt. P.V.

In my letter this morning I told you to direct to Fortress Monroe, I have since learned that the surest way to direct is to Washington D.C. And just write on one end of the envelop [sic] “Forward to the regiment.” By directing in this way way there is less danger of letters being lost. and they will reach us earlier. The other directions I gave you are right. Just say “Washington D.C.” instead of Ft. Monroe Va.” It has been raining nearly all day, and is exceedingly disagreeable. The roads are becoming impassable Wagons in many places sink to the axels. I was down at New Port News this afternoon to buy some provisions, and waded through mud and water https://digitalsc.lib.vt.edu/files/original/4709/Ms2015-051_ConleyIsaiah_1862_0408b.jpg 8d9ffaaa9e6c0ba2eac4b9f777ee765b PDF Text Text some places almost to the tops of my boots. You never seen me very often at home with my pants in my boots, but, if you could see me here, wading though [sic] the mud, you would see me display the whole of my boot legs. Well, I bought some bread, a few potatoes, and turnips, and a few pennies of corn meal, and Aug. Lightningstar and I carried them two miles though [sic] the mud to one camp- This is soldiering. They charge us ten cents to a loaf for bread (loaves are small) $2.00 per bus. for potatoes, and the same for turnips. three cents per lb. for corn meal. I saw some right nice looking butter there, and asked the price, think I would take [some] of it with me, but when the merchant told me it was only 50cts per lb. I concluded hat (that) we had better eat our bread without butter. You will see by this that prices here are outrageously high. We however buy most of our provisions, at the Brigade Comissary’s [sic], where we get them at https://digitalsc.lib.vt.edu/files/original/4709/Ms2015-051_ConleyIsaiah_1862_0408c.jpg 8db19d4c7a0bb6ba55ac5009f94bd246 PDF Text Text Government rates. but we cannot at all times get all we want there. they seldom have soft bread or potatoes. We live on very plain diet. usually bread, beef (fresh) or bacon, molases [sic]. coffee sugar, and occasionally a few potatoes & e. We have a very good and trusty colored man, who cooks, and does our work generally. We are living real soldier’s lives- Sleeping on the ground. which is generally wet. This you will think terrible, but I never have enjoyed better health. I stand it much better than either the Capt. (William B. Sprague) or Lieut. Mullin (David W. Mullin), neither of them are well, though they are both going about. I hope we will soon move from here, as we are right among the swamps. and the country is so level we cannot see any distance either way. In fact it is a country only fit to be inherited by frogs, night owls and mosquitoes. But, I do not want you to think that I was tired, of the service, for if https://digitalsc.lib.vt.edu/files/original/4709/Ms2015-051_ConleyIsaiah_1862_0408d.jpg 15aab0d7321f9903326a1eb8ec5920f6 PDF Text Text my life is spared, I will never give it up until the union is restored. To effect that result I am willing to endure hardship and privations. and I will endure them cheerfully. While I am enduring these hardship it is a satisfaction, to me to know, that my family are more comfortable than I am. Our boys all keep up spirits very well. They really seem as well satisfied, as if they were living in Palaces. We are all in hopes of seeing, Richmond before long. All we want is the orders to march. We have an Army here that can take any point now held by the rebels. Our field artilery [sic] might be measured by miles. I heard one of our regimented Officers say that he saw the train of artilery [sic] moving towards Yorktown last week, and he says he is confident the train was five miles long. our Infantry force here cannot be short of 200,000. All well equipped. Gen. McClellen is here himself. But I have written much more than I intended, and must now close. It is bed time. Good Night Your Husband We have recd no mail yet.

Foster) & his little garrison from their unplea pleasant Situation there, but we were unable to reach the place, as the rebels had a bat- tery planted on the bank of the Pamlico river which prevented our passing, consequently we had to return without effecting any thing, we reached here yesterday morning https://digitalsc.lib.vt.edu/files/original/4762/Ms2015-051_ConleyIsaiah_1863_0408b.jpg 8600110edceade9219278591934e301b PDF Text Text Last night at 12 O Clock our Reg’t with a number of others started again, it is thought to march by land to Washington. Being too unwell to undertake the march, I have, for the first time since I’ve been in the service, remained be- hind. I am Staying at Camp until the reg’t returns. I am excused from duty by the Surgeon. How long they will be gone I do not know. They took ten days rations with them. The rebels have been rather active in this Department for the last two or three weeks. Gen. Foster with some 1600 or 1800 men Are hemmed in at Washington by the enemy, the river commu- nication being cut off by a rebel battery, planted on this bank. https://digitalsc.lib.vt.edu/files/original/4762/Ms2015-051_ConleyIsaiah_1863_0408c.jpg ea79b5a8fab22fedd87ed9f128efa23d PDF Text Text I have no doubt however, but that Foster will be able to hold his position until this Expedition can relieve him. Our Pickets at this place are occasionally annoyed some but I do not believe they will attack us here. We are strongly fortified We have no late news from the north. Our latest from Charleston indicated an early attack. The weather here is rather cool. My indisposition is caus- ed. I think by taking cold. I think I will be well in a few days. I suppose you have moved and got “fixed up.” I hope you are all well. https://digitalsc.lib.vt.edu/files/original/4762/Ms2015-051_ConleyIsaiah_1863_0408d.jpg da1449bc7ff9b2e076c8dad017cc9a2f PDF Text Text I believe I have nothing more in the way of news, that would interest you.

Aug. 24, 1863 My Dear Wife, As there is a mail goes out this evening. I will drop you a hasty line. I have not had a letter from you since I last wrote. The weather continues pretty warm although not so warm as it was ten days ago. We still have considerable sickness here, but not fatal cases. I am still enjoying very good health, but feel a little out of tune today. I was up all night last night, with a squad of men outside the picket lines, trying to ambush some rebels who are in the habit of slipping up and firing on our pickets. We saw five but could not succeed in getting them. They got into a large corn field and it was impossible to find them in the dark. We have news from Charleston yester- day, which seems reliable that Fort Sumpter [sic] https://digitalsc.lib.vt.edu/files/original/4773/Ms2015-051_ConleyIsaiah_1863_0824b.jpg 7a76ba78338f5a3b9408fa36e3ca8d18 PDF Text Text & Wagner are taken. If it is true you will have heard it before this reaches you. Charleston is a doomed City! The canned fruit, butter xc. that you sent with me, was all very nice. The only fault I could find to it was that the quantity was not great enough. I suppose you have rec’d the photograph I sent with Brown, in a letter I believe I have no news, further, that would interest you. Kiss Annie & Harry for me And tell them to be good Chil- dren.

Aug. 30 1862 My Dear Carrie, Your favor of 24 & 25 has just been rec’d. And of course was a welcome messenger. I also rec’d one from Martin at the same time, written 24th. He says he was going to start to camp in a few days. I suppose he is at Harrisburg before this time. He’ll make a good soldier, if he can endure the hardships. Well, we are Still laying quietly, where we were when I last wrote. The different regt. of our division, are being assigned posts at Yorktown, Newport News, at this place, & some will be sent over to Norfolk, and other points on that side of Hampton Roads. We have not yet been assigned our post, but, expect it will be somewhere near the fort. I understand the whole of Keye’s Corp is still on the Peninsula, but, I have not seen any of them, except our Division for some time. This is a very pleasant place, and will be a good place to recruit the health of our broken down soldiers. So far as I am personally concern- ed. I would prefer active service in the field, to doing Garrison duty.

I am looking for Lt. Mullin (Lieutenant David W. Mullin) soon, You say you did not understand what I meant of those rec’ts. My next letter, I think explained that. I forgot to put them in. I did not receive any letter with four stamps lately. You need not send me any more stamps while we stay here. We can get them at the Post Office. You say you never received the last 15$ I sent you. I sent it all together to Reed, Rupp & Schell, and instructed them to send you 15$ of it. They sent me receipt for it. They may not have had an opportunity [sic] of sending it to you.

The weather has been oppressive ly hot for the last ten days- today we have a good breeze, which makes it more pleasant. We are having a great many cases of Swamp and Malarious [sic] fever here. Nearly half of our Company have had it within the last two weeks, others are still taking it. It does not, however, assume a very malignant form. There has been hundreds of cases of it here, but, I have not heard of a single death from it. We have no bad cases. Helm (Lieutenant John B. Helm), Brown (Private Joseph L.

I am Still in Command of Co. “D”, but am detailed now, as Judge Advocate of a Court of Inquiry, which is to be organized to- morrow; that will relieve me from the Command of “D”. We have but little news from the north. I see, however, among what little we have got, that the rebel Gen. John Morgan (Brigadier General John Hunt Morgan), and his band have all been “gobbled up” in Ohio. The “Buckeyes” deserve credit for that. From what news we have, I think everything looks promising. Our Successes during July were the most brilliant and fruitfull [sic] of the war.

Dec. 2, 1862 My Dear Carrie, Your very welcome letter of 27th ult. came to hand this evening. It is a satisfaction to know that you are all blessed with such good health. You complain of hard times and diffi- culty in procuring necessaries. There is no doubt but there is some difficulty, but I apprehend, that very much of the dif- ficulty is caused by your inexperience in matters of that kind and probably some of it by you too easily loosing [sic] your amiability. You must not be too easily disheartened. In reference to that house of Colvin’s I think Sixty- Dolls, rather too high a rent for it, but if there is no other chance without renting part of one of the houses you spoke of I would rather you would rent it, even, at that rent. I am opposed to two families living in one house. There would be no risk in Sending a box to me by express. Boxes come here every day, from all parts of Penna. I think butter could be brought for the money. If you are running short of money, I have a little in the Bedford Bank, I could send you a check for some. But I will not insist on your sending the box, as you do not appear favorable to it. There is a reconnoitering party out at This time, toward Franklin. They went out Yesterday. Our reg’t is not with them this time. https://digitalsc.lib.vt.edu/files/original/4751/Ms2015-051_ConleyIsaiah_1862_1202b.jpg 7a4b2eceb2b9bafd76623991b40e737d PDF Text Text The 174th & 175th Penna Regt.

The dun you speak of for money due Bedford Rail Road must have been intended for Uriah. I never subscribed anything toward it, nor took any stock in it.

Dec 23. 1862 Dear Carrie, Since leaving Suffolk on the 5th inst. I have written you two hasty notes. I will now give you some idea of our movements and opperations [sic] since then. We left Suffolk Dec. 5 marched 33 miles, where we are banked on the Gun Bank “Vidette” on the Chowan river about three miles South of Gatesville N.C. on Sunday Dec. 7- and by that means came to this place, where we landed on Wednesday Dec. 10- having passed through to Albamarle [sic] & Pamlico Sounds. We at on[ce] rec’d orders to draw “ten days rations,” and be ready to march next morning. At the appointed time every thine was in readiness, and we took up our time of march westward. The expedition consisted of four Brigades of Infantry Six Batters of Artillery (36 guns in all), and 1 Reg’t. of Cavalry. About 16,000 or 18,000 all told, all under Com- mand of Gen. Foster (Major General John G. Foster) our Brigade led the advance Except one or two companies of Cavalry which always go In advance in such expeditions. The first day we marched about 16 miles. Our Cavalry captured three rebel pickets that evening. Next day- Friday- we marched about 14 miles- had consider able skirmishing wounded several of the enemy captured several more. (Horizontal page 1) This expedition which was in every respect successful, was I think For equal to “Stonewall” Jacksons best raids. In ten and a half days we we [sic] marched over 150 150 miles, fought three battles, buried all our own & part of the enemies’s dead brought of all our wounded. And this raid was made into the very heart of our enemies Country. I expect a full account of the expedition will be published in the paper printed at this place. If so I will send you a paper. Lt. Mullin (Lieutenant David W. Mullin) and I were both with the Company all the time. We all lay out in the ground without tents all the time. The nights were very cold. freezing ice an inch thick. The days were clear and pleasant. https://digitalsc.lib.vt.edu/files/original/4752/Ms2015-051_ConleyIsaiah_1862_1223b.jpg 5364df5db72c8f48d4f7725cb9170cf8 PDF Text Text Next day- Saturday- marched about 10 miles, which brought us within two miles of Kinston. Had heavy skirmishing in which we captured one heavy gun & Caison [sic] and killed and wounded a number of the enemy, with very small loss on our side. It was after dark when we halted that evening. Our Regt being in the extreme advance. Co. “G” was then ordered out on picket. Still further in advance. I, with Six men took the extreme advance post. At this time it was quite dark, and of course we had to feel our way carefully, knowing that we were right upon the enemy. After establishing this post, I was discovered that we were within 25 yards of the enemy’s pickets. We held our position however. All passed quietly until near day light when we heard the enemy’s drums beat, and heard heavy cheering about a mile in front of us, and which was evidently advancing towards us. As soon as it was light enough to see. I continuely [sic] advanced to where the enemy’s [sic] had been heard during the night, and found they had been withdrawn, I then took three men & posted them there, that being a much better point from which to observe the movements of the enemy than the one we held during the night. Soon after this Maj. Taylor (Major Alex W. Taylor) of our reg’t rode down to this out post when he was fired upon by a rebel picket one of my men on the post returned the fire. These were the first two guns fired at Kinston Dec 14. Soon after this our Skirmishers advanced, until they were about 20 yards (Page 2 Upside Down) Enclosed I send you a rebel Envelope, picked up on the battle field at Kinston [vertical] The country through which we passed, is the finest I have pet seen in the south, or rather a part of it. Large quantities of Cotton are grown in this region and some rice. A great deal of attention has been given to the tar & turpentine business. By looking at a map you will see the route we traveled. Our Baggage is still at Suffolk we do not know whether we are to [be] sent back there or not. It is reported that we are to go on another expedition in a few days. I don’t know whether it is correct. I expect we will know in a short whether we will go back to Suffolk Mails are irregular here. https://digitalsc.lib.vt.edu/files/original/4752/Ms2015-051_ConleyIsaiah_1862_1223c.jpg 4a49ce8eba4cec34a590e256ab252841 PDF Text Text beyond this out post they were fired upon, they returned the fire- and the ball was at once opened. This was about 8 A.M. Our Brigade were quickly thrown into position. Our Reg’t was ordered to Support a Battery which we did during the entire battle. From 8 A.M. the battle raged until 2 ½ P.M. when the enemy being driven from his position fled acros the bridge. The battle having been on the South side of the Neuse [River], the town on the north side. They attempted to burn the bridge after them, but we did not give them time- but immediately followed them across. Finding that they were hard pressed they fled in the utmost con- fusion, leaving every thing behind that could possible [sic] encumber them- many threw away their arms. Our Victory was Complete, Overwhelming. We captured some ten pieces of Artillery, Several hundred prisoners hundreds of small arms, together with tents, commissa- ry stores- in Short we captured nearly every thing they had. When we entered the town we found large quantities of Corn & Cotton burning. It had been fired by them to prevent it falling into our hands. To the citizens our visit was certainly unexpected, Many of them fled from the town at our approach- What remained Seemed to pray “Good Lord, Good Devil” The loss on one side in this affair was small Probably some 200 killed & wounded.

As near as I have been able to ascertain the enemies strength, it was from ten to twelve thousand. We encamped for the night just outside of the town. Next morning (Wednesday Dec 15) we passed back through the town, recrossed the bridge and continued our westward course, some of the fresh troops were now placed in the advance, nothing more of importance occurred until Tuesday fore noon when the advance reached White Hall which by the road we marched is about 20 miles from Kinston. and is also on the Neuse river. Here the enemy again made a stand & here a fight of some four hours occurred of which I know but little except that the rebs were again repulsed. We did not see the fight, as we were not ordered up until it was over. Without any unnecessary delay at this point, the whole Column pushed right for- ward, marching some 10 miles that evening, Next day a little before now, our advance again attacked them at the Bridge on the Wilming- ton R. R. across the Neuse river, about 3 miles south of Goldsboro, which is about 20 miles from White Hall. Here after a spirit spirited engagement of some two hours we again repulsed them, driving them from the bridge which they were trying to defend. As soon as we gained poses- session of the bridge, we put fire to it and in about an hour it was burned to ashes. Orders were at once given to take up our line of march to Newbern. It was not until then that we learned that the main object of our expedition was to destroy this bridge and thereby cut off an important R. R. Communication. The object had been successfully accomplished. We had not got more than a mile from the battle field when our rear Guard was (up the side of the page and upside down) attacked and we were again ordered back. The enemy being again repulsed we started for Newbern at about dark. That (Wednesday evening and reached here on Sunday at 11 ½ A. M.

If mustered out I will go to Harrisburg, and see what can be done for the regiment. I will probably spend a few days there before going home.

Went on the Gun Boat “Foster” down the sound and up Alligator river to a place called Gum Neck Landing where he landed, and made a reconnaissance; Captured three rebel soldiers. He there learned that a company [of] Guerillas, or as they call themselves “Partizan Rangers” were encamped at Fairfield, Hyde Co. They at once started for that place, they landed https://digitalsc.lib.vt.edu/files/original/4784/Ms2015-051_ConleyIsaiah_1864_0221b.jpg 8fe97a8a55f5fc2debdbd5c27283bb6e PDF Text Text about three or four miles from Fairfield, at 12 O clock on Thursday night, during a very severe snow storm. A small detachment of Marines from the boat accom- panying them, making their whole number about 40 men. They marched to near the place, then made arrang- ments to capture the rebel pickets, in which they succeeded without alarming the Camp. They then Charged right into their company quarters, and Captured the whole Company, (Numbering about 30 men, among whom was the Capt. & 2nd Lt.) It was a most complete surprise, the whole thing being done without firing a gun. They also Captured 64 stands of arms, with ammunition, one rebel flag, together with a large amount of other rebel property. They returned to this place yesterday morning with their prisoners & other trophies. Considering the number of men who accomplished This, it is certainly a most brilliant affair. Capt. Haggard (Captain Calvin Haggard) of the 2nd N.C. Union Regiment whilest on a visit to his family in Bertie Co. about 15 miles from this place, last night a week, was captured by a company of Georgia Cavalry. They started with him for Richmond, Marched about 30 miles the first day. After they had stopped for the night, the Capt. took off boots & Coat, lay down and pretended to fall asleep. after https://digitalsc.lib.vt.edu/files/original/4784/Ms2015-051_ConleyIsaiah_1864_0221c.jpg f25ba631dedf06070f4550a5b521cf85 PDF Text Text the rebs. had all lay down and were asleep except one guard over him, he watched a favorable opportunity and made his escape, leaving his coat & boots behind, and walked all the way back barefooted. He reached here on Wednesday morning Having travelled nearly all the [way] through the woods. What of you think of that in the middle of winter? Rebel deserters continue to come in quite freely. with Carolina recruits come in here at the rate of ten a day. This I think is cheering. The Presidents Amnesty Proclamation is having a most Salutary effect in this state. A large slave holder of Bertie county, last week brought in all his slaves to this place with the advice to all the able bodied men among them, to enlist in the Union Army, which they all did. The women & children were taken charge of by the authorities. he said Slavery was dead & he was glad of it; and he was determined that his negroes should not fall into the hands of the rebs. We had quite a severe snow storm on Thursday night, the snow fall to the depth of about 3 inches and them blew into “piles”. The weather was quite cold for a few days. But Today is pleasant again. The snow has nearly all disappeared. https://digitalsc.lib.vt.edu/files/original/4784/Ms2015-051_ConleyIsaiah_1864_0221d.jpg b61cbd73593bcac07562689337d8ec53 PDF Text Text I feel anxious to hear from you. I suppose you are arguably looking for me home. We expected to have started before this time, but the late demonstration of the rebels in this state has thrown us back. I dont think we can leave here now, before the middle of March, and perhaps later. Our Mustering Officer has not yet finished making out the papers. As soon they are complete we expect to be paid, when I think we will be ready to start. I would much rather be at home during April than March, as the weather will be much pleasanter. I still have Command of the Recruiting Parties. It keeps me pretty busy. I hope you are all well. I often think of you, and wish I could get home oftener. But I have pretty bright hopes that “this Civil War” will soon be “over”, and then I expect to stay at home. I think next Summer’s campaign [will] wind up the war. We get but little news from the north, Out mails are irregular, and only receive papers occasionally. Give my love to Charlotte. Kiss Annie & Harry for me, and tell them to be good children.

Feby. 8, 1863 Dear Carrie, I have been looking day after day for a letter from you, but still none comes. I presume it is not your fault I think the fault lies with the mails. We have rec’d two small mails during the last week, but, they brought very little mail matter. The last letter I have had from you was dated Jany 7. I still live in hopes that we will get our mail matter before long. If my letters don’t reach you more regularly than yours do me, you will probably think I have either died or deserted. During the last week we had quite a storm; the ground was covered with snow one day, and the weather quite cold. It reminded us of northern winters. But it soon passed away, and the weather is again mild & pleasant. Our news from the north is very meagre. We have not yet heard from the expedition. We were paid yesterday for four months ending Oct. 31 which leaves over three months pay due us. Enclosed I send you fifty dollars which will do you until I am paid again. I also send $200 to Somerset to pay that last payment. I will have https://digitalsc.lib.vt.edu/files/original/4758/Ms2015-051_ConleyIsaiah_1863_0208b.jpg ff37e3a64d9a2e344c6b291b33dfecf9 PDF Text Text the Deed sent to you. You will take good care of it. And always forward money promptly to I.O. Kimmel to pay the taxes on these lands, when he Calls on you. Use what economy you can, in your expenses, without rendering yourselves uncomfortable as I wish to get my business all closed up, and have enough left to start comfortably when I get home. If I live to get there. I expect to be paid again betwen [sic] this and the first of April. when I want to pay off some other debts. If we get four months pay next pay day, and I get what is due me from the state, it will amount to about $600- with that I want to redeem my debts. I think I will have that other Deed made out in your name also, so that if any thing should hapen [sic] [to] me you will have that safe.

Jany 10 1864. My Dear Carrie: I left Norfolk on Saturday Morning, and a Series of mishaps- such as mooring aground on Sand bars &c.- I arrived safely at this place at nine O cl’ck, last night, And met with a warm welcome from the Col. (Colonel David B. Morris) and the rest of the Offers. I am quite well, but worn out with loss of sleep- not having any place to sleep for the last two nights before reaching here. Upon my arrival here I found the status of our Regiment quite different from what I expected. Although over three fourths of the regiment re-enlisted last winter, yet through the neglect of somebody- I think the Mustering Officer- we were never reported a “Veteran Regiment.” The Consequence of this is that our regimental organization will be broken up, and the Officers https://digitalsc.lib.vt.edu/files/original/4782/Ms2015-051_ConleyIsaiah_1864_0110b.jpg 90e42a31292e4f39a608014bcbe02b29 PDF Text Text mustered out. The Col. has received notice to this effect, from Washington. Several of our Officers have already been mustered out. Among Whom are Lt. Col. Taylor (Lieutenant Colonel Alex W. Taylor) & Lt. Davidson (Lieutenant William C. Davidson). I suppose that I will be mustered out soon. I will know more about it soon. The Col. expects to be mustered out soon. It is not unlikely that I will be home in four or five weeks. The weather is quite pleasant here_ mild as May. With my love to you all. I am Affecty Your Husband I.

Jany. 2 -63 Dear Carrie, Since last writing to you, we have, at least for the time being, been transfered [sic] to the Department of North Carolina. A new Corps De Armee is being formed here under Command of Maj. Gen. Foster (Major General John G. Foster). I understand that this is to be the first Brigade of the first Division of this new Corps. which will be the 18th Army Corps. Brig. Gen. Wessell (Brigadier General Henry W. Wessells) has been promoted and is, so I understand to Command the first Division. Whilest we are all glad to see our veteran Gen. promoted we are all soon to lose him from our Brigade. He was a favorite with us all. Col. Hunt [Colonel Lewis Cass) of the 92nd N. Y. has been promoted to a Brig. General ship has taken command of our Brigade. So you see we have no longer any hope of returning to our Comfortable quarters at Suffolk. Our baggage mail &c. have not yet arrived from Suffolk, but we are daily looking for them. https://digitalsc.lib.vt.edu/files/original/4756/Ms2015-051_ConleyIsaiah_1863_0102b.jpg 2462da0441e253924f95fbd03d780639 PDF Text Text We have not had any mail Since we left Suffolk which is from weeks to day. We expect all our back mail at furthest by tomorrow, and I can assure you we are waiting anxiously for them. There is usually two or three mails (irregularly) a week reaches here bringing all mails directed to this point. Six reg’ts arrived here last evening from Suffolk among which is the 171st Pa. (Drafted Militia) in it are the drafted men from Bedford county. I have not seen them, But intend to go and see them this afternoon. The Somerset men are also in the same reg’t. The weather here is very pleas- ant for this season, at least so it seems to northern men. The nights are frosty, but the days are as warm as “Indian Sum- mer” in Penna, and has very much the appearance the atmosphere being quite as Smoky. Yesterday we moved our Camp to the South side of the Trent river https://digitalsc.lib.vt.edu/files/original/4756/Ms2015-051_ConleyIsaiah_1863_0102c.jpg 1a439e6fc7c9d3e01be198695e8748b5 PDF Text Text Our present Camp is on the South bank of that river, about a mile west of the R. R. Bridge which Crosses from the town. The town is on the north side of the Trent. We all begin to look pretty shabby, having had no change of of [sic] clothing since we left Suffolk except what we have drawn since then. I brought with me nothing but what I wore & carried on the march. I take off one Shirt at a time and have it washed. So you see I am better off than the boy who had to go to bed to get his shirt washed. When our baggage comes we will be all right again. I often wonder how you are getting along, not having heard from you for so long. I hope however you are all well. I would have liked very much to have spent the Holidays with you but the stern necessities of war, decreed it otherwise. I often think of you & the children & hope when this unholy rebellion https://digitalsc.lib.vt.edu/files/original/4756/Ms2015-051_ConleyIsaiah_1863_0102d.jpg 00040d20bca01f71f7e0966c287ab844 PDF Text Text is crushed to rejoin you- and together enjoy the blessings of peace. As soon as I receive a mail I will write again. Mean time write often & Direct to Hunt’s Brig- ade, Newbern N.C. Kiss Annie & Harry for me Remember me to Charlotte & Other friends.
