122. Kelley, D.O.
Civil War Letter: On the Way Home

Williamsport, Maryland: June 7, 1865
Kelley writes a hurried letter to his brother-in-law John Morton Daggette. He is coming home. He asks Daggette to please pay the COD charges on his box of possessions promising to pay him when he gets home. Kelley hopes that the box will be delivered to Buena Vista, but if that is not possible it will, apparently, be delivered to the nearest express office. Kelley is very excited about returning to his parents' home in Elizabeth. Because it is hot, however, he adds that it will take him longer to get home. "I mean," Kelley writes," to stop at Bedford Springs a day or two on my Road." In a letter written early in his war experience, Kelley had visited at least one of the hot springs of Virginia and had described the fine time he had there. With envelope and stamp.
