This collection consists of correspondence between Anchram Harris Evans, a Confederate soldier during the Civil War from Brunswick County, NC, and his wife Elizabeth Kelly Evans (she is referred to as either "Bettie" or "Lizzie" in the letters). There are a handful of letters to or from other family members, as well as typed transcripts of the letters by their grandson, Troy Henry, from 1956. The bulk of the correspondence occured in 1864, but letters span the duration of the war from 1861 to 1865. Topics discussed in the letters include but are not limited to the daily lives of those living in rural Brunswick County, the relationship between a husband and wife, the diet and struggles of a Civil War Soldier, insight into a soldier's mind during the last months of the war, thoughts and results of elections, the cost of living and goods, transactions of enslaved persons, familial health concerns and relationships, raids and movements of soldiers during the war, and concerns over diseases like small pox and yellow fever.
