Emory Wilcox to Anna Wilcox
Fort Federal Hill, Baltimore, Maryland.
This letter was enclosed in a 5.[25]” x 2.875” white envelope, with a cancelled
three cent stamp in the upper right corner; postmarked Ma[y] 4, BALTIMORE.
The postmark is 1.25” in diameter, blue ink, and overlays the stamp. The upper
left corner is occupied by an illustration of Fort Federal Hill in black ink. Printed,
in black ink, below the illustration:
FORT FEDERAL HILL, Baltimore, Md.

Garrisoned by 8th N. Y. Artillery,
Col. P. A. PORTER, commanding.
Addressed in blue ink to:
Miss Annie W
Smyrna
Chenango
N.
The envelope was opened by tearing off the right side. The tear removed the right
half of the stamp and postmark. Also torn off are most of the name ‘Wilcox,’ the
‘Co.’ from ‘Chenango Co.’ and the ‘Y’ from ‘N.Y.’ Very slight foxing along the
edges. There are blue ink stains on the back, probably from postmarks on other
letters.
Written in black ink, in a different hand, on the back:
Smyrna
June 10
Two and one-half pages.
One 7.5” x 9” sheet folded to form four 4.5” x 7.5” pages.
Written in two distinct black inks on blue lined stationery paper, page four
appears to have been unlined. The top of page one has “Co.B. 8th N.Y.Art.”
printed in black ink. The ink changes halfway down page two. The earlier ink is
more faded than the later ink. Very slight foxing, mostly along the single vertical

�crease. The lower third of pages 3/4 has been cut away. There are three creases:
one vertical and two horizontal. Folded size is 4.5” x 2.625”.

Dear Cousin Annie,
I received your kind letter
yesterday and am glad to
hear from you. I am well
excepting a bad cold if I
get along without being sick
any more than that I shall
be very thankful. most every
thing has been trimed in mour
ning for a week here on the
account of Lincolns death. I
hope it will not prolong the
war any if it does not I think
it will soon end. you spoke
about my coresponding with
Mrs Ransom you thought about
wright when you thought that
I corresponded with her about
as you did. It is rather muddy

for that Girl that kept the
Post Office but no harder for
her than a good many others
I have seen since this war
commenced but we hope it
is near an end. you rem
ember you promised me your
Picture when I was down
there I have not got any
of of them. I am going to
get some taken when I
get a chance and then I
will Send you one. when I

more pleasent weather but
I may never be down there
again. but if I live and every thing
goes well it will not be
many years before I see
Chenang again but no knowing
what may turn up within a
year or two. There is a good
many Deserters here that have
given up themselves under the
Presidents Proclimation that they
should be Pardoned if they
should give themselves up.
Well Annie there is not mutch

missing portions of the outer circle. The postmark and stamp cancellation are
black ink.
Addressed in black ink to:

edges and moderate foxing on the front and back faces.
Three pages.
One 8” x 10” sheet folded to form four 5” x 8” pages.
Written in black ink on blue lined stationery paper, page four appears to
have been unlined. Embossed, in the upper right hand corners of pages one and
three, with a seal in the shape of a shield containing the words “GEORGE MC

Unedited Transcription
14 October, 1864
William S. Pike to Anna Wilcox
Washington Street Hospital, Alexandria, Virginia
This letter was enclosed in a 5.25” x 2.875” white envelope, with a cancelled
three cent stamp in the upper right corner; postmarked Oct 14 ’64,
ALEXANDRIA, VA. The postmark is 1 3/16” in diameter and overlays the
stamp. The postmark is missing most of the ‘64’ and some of the letters are
smeared. The stamp cancellation also overlays the stamp and consists of four
concentric circles, the largest is 3/4” in diameter and the smallest is 3/16” in
diameter and is stamped partly off the envelope. The postmark and stamp
cancellation are black ink.
Addressed in black ink to:
Miss Annie Wilcox
Smyrna
Shenango Co
N.Y
The envelope was opened by cutting the right side. Slight foxing along the edges
and very slight foxing on the front face, the back face has moderately foxing.
There is part of a black stamp cancellation in the upper left corner of the back,
probably from the another letter.
Four pages.
One 8” x 10” sheet folded to form four 5” x 8” pages.
Written in black ink on blue lined stationery paper, page four appears to
have been unlined. Embossed, in the upper right hand corners of pages one and
three, with a seal in the shape of a oval containing the word “PARIS” and
surrounded by filigree. Watermarked with ten horizontal lines. Ink appears
unfaded. Slight foxing, most evident along the single vertical crease and on page
four. There are three creases: one vertical and two horizontal. Folded size is 5”
x 2.875”.

one weeks end to the other
my wound is some better

Unedited Transcription
24 January, 1865
William S. Pike to Anna Wilcox
Washington Street Hospital, Alexandria, Virginia
This letter was enclosed in a 5.[25]” x 3” white envelope, with a cancelled three
cent stamp in the upper left corner; postmarked Jan 24, ALEXANDRIA, VA.
The postmark is 15/16” in diameter and overlays the stamp. The stamp
cancellation consists of four concentric circles, the largest is 3/4” in diameter and
the smallest is 3/16” in diameter. The postmark and stamp cancellation are black
ink.
Addressed in blue ink to:
Miss Annie Wilcox
Smyrna
Chenango C[o]
N.Y.
The envelope was opened by tearing off the right side. The tear removed the ‘o’
from ‘Chenango Co.’ Very slight foxing along the edges. The envelope is very
yellowed. This is a light tan stain, probably water, along the top edge of the
envelope, above the cancellation.
Three pages.
One 8” x 10” sheet folded to form four 5” x 8” pages.
Written in blue ink on unlined stationery paper. Ink appears unfaded.
Very slight foxing. There is one small (&lt;1/16”) hole where the lower of the two
horizontal creases crosses the single vertical crease. There are three creases: one
vertical and two horizontal. Folded size is 5” x 2.875”.
