Abstract
In this letter to his sister, Evans writes about that his unit is toward the rear of Union forces near Grand Gulf, Mississippi. He expects a battle soon and that Union forces are trying to stop railroad traffic between Jackson and Vicksburg. He also suggests that his sister might have need of hiring a private teacher and that, perhaps jokingly, she might want to hire a discharged Union veteran.
A typed transcript follows the original handwritten letter in this digital file.
