Description: Oh, what a letter! Jerome B. Cline from New York penned this letter in April 1863 from Yorktown VA where his company was preparing a siege. He had just received a letter from his brother telling of his mother's death. In this letter he is writing his father and addressing that along with forgiveness...it is VERY poignant. He tells of his resolve to fight for his country against the WAR of the REBELLION and that his father shouldn't worry as the next battle is a siege and implied safer.
