120. Kelley, D.O.
Civil War Letter: Nearing the End

Winchester, West Virginia: April 9, 1865
Kellley is busy with soldiering now- more so than he has been for most of the war. He feels, though, that the war is drawing to a close. He writes: "We have been moving from one place to another about every day, am well with the exeption of a sty over my eye which feels rather sore at the present time." Later in the letter, he comments that he thinks "it is over. We had marching order to (go to ) Lynchburg a day or two ago but the order has been countermanded do not think we will ever leave the Valley until we are discharged but cannot tell how soon that will be. Winchester was illuminated last night. There has been a great manny Rebs came in + gave themselves (up) in the last day or two. Our army has had a big time here the last day or two/ a person would think that they had gone crazy." With envelope.
