CIVIL WAR SOLDIERS
 KEPT IN IGNORANCE
Local Man Finds Letter Among Wifc's Effects Written by Samuel
 Barnes in 1863
Barnes in 1S6:

Evidently the censorship in the Civil was was just as strict as in the present conflict in Europe as evidence ed by a letter written in 1863. Samuel s. Barnes, a northern soldier, in let ter to his sister, Maria Barnes of Bris- tol writes that she knows more about what is going on than he at his station in Beaufort, N. C. The letter was found recently by Fred Renshaw of Oak street among the effects of his deceased wife, who was niece of Miss Barnes. Although the parchment is gray with age, the writing is still legible and can be read easily.
 The letter follows:
 Beaufort, June 23. 1863.
 Dear Sister, now take my pen in hand to let you know that I am well and I hope you are the same. I re- ceived your letter and was happy to hear from you and the folks. 1 would like to see you and the folks very much. You wonder if 1 shall ever get home again. I hope I shall in four teen months if I live. A man died out of the battery three days ago. He wasn't sick but three days and he was a turf looking man. When a man gets sick down here it takes great while to get well. We have lost out of the 1attery thirteen men that have died and twenty discharged since we l have been in the army.
 1 Will send you my picture as soon
 as We get paid. l think we shall get paid in a month. l don't save much 1 money as I thought l could. l spend 1 some upon clothes and other things. i everything is so high it is impossible
 to save much. The paper says Lee
 mas made raid in Pennsylvania. It 1 don't look much like ending the war. 1t is rainy time now, it rains every day and IS hot and muggy. We don't drill very often. All we have to do is guard duty.
 l can't think of much to write now We don't know what is going on as much as you do, so write as often as you can. l send my love to you and all the folks. Tell mother to write as often as she can.
 From Your Brother, SAMUEL s. BARNES.
