UNION PRISONER WRITES HOME:
The following letter writer, Morris Duncan, was serving in the Rebel Army and was captured behind Union lines and charged with spying. It is unknown what happened to him.
Dear father:
It is with pleasure that I seat myself down this morning to write you a few lines to inform you that I am well and have been ever since you were up here. I hope these few lines will find you all enjoying the same blessings.
I was from here to Louisville and stayed there 10 days and then they sent me back to this place. I came here on the 7th, and do not know how long I will stay here or what they will do with me. I got the receipt that you sent me for the money you left me the morning I left for Louisville. It may be that they will give me a trial, and if they do, they may let me out on the condition that I will take the oath and give bond.
Martin Van Hook, A. Monson, and Mark McDuffe are here with me. I learned that they captured Camron, Points, and French and took all they had and paroled them. They went South afterwards. They captured them on Johnson Fork of the Licking River. I want you to collect all that is due me and pay my just and honest debts, if there is enough to do it.
If some of my Union friends would intercede for me, it might be possible that they could get me out of this prison. Write to me as soon as you get this letter. Direct your letter to prison #3. If I am not here, request them to send it on if I am inside their lines. I must come to a close. I still remain your affectionate son till death.
