We just acquired a small family collection of letters from the Civil War. They were passed down and have never been for sale previously. This auction is for... A letter written On November 2, 1862 in Findlay. It starts off describing mostly health issues then continues on to describe the author's political views of the time. It is very interesting to read due to its frankness.  He writes that if a few hundred Abolitionists and a few hundred Secessionists had been hung perhaps the war would never have started. He also writes that he hopes the recipient has not changed his political faith. And hopes that the Democratic victories in Ohio and Pennsylvania and Indiana will continue throughout the other states. He mentions the "rascals in our weak and corrupt Congress". I have not seen many Civil War letters with such good political content. This is very interesting to read. He also gives a rather long list of prices at the time. The price of cattle, hogs, corn, potatoes, sugar, coffee, butter and more.  This is a great historical document giving lots of information including political views, prices at the time, and health issues.
