Dear Dr. Eaddy,
As promised I am sending you a transcript of the note I found from 1861.
I
will also send you a photocopy of it via the US mail. Please keep in
mind
that some of it is difficult to read, but I think I have made it out
fairly
well.

Camp Sumter, SC Dec. 9th, 1861

Mr. J.R. Eaddy (???)

Dear Father, as I have more money than I wish to keep in camps, I will
send
you forty five dollars by Rhubin Aard. We were paid last week for our
clothing and two months service. I will not write any now, as I have
just
written to Sarah.

Your affectionate son,
I.P.F Eaddy, (???)

The initials on the names are hard to make out, they may be initials for
rank instead of name.

Response to Mr. Burch from Vanik S. Eaddy:

Hello Laurin:

Thanks for the copy of the letter written by the CSA soldier to his
father. It is very difficult to determine initials and first names from
the letter. It is unlikely that he was Robert James Eaddy, Sr. whom I
first suggested. It appears to me that his father could have been named
John D. Eaddy. If so, the soldier would have been Trisvan Eaddy who
served as a Private (PVT) or Private First Class (PFC) in Co. C. 15th
Infantry Regiment. He was born December 28, 1832 and died in 1899 when
run over by a train in Florida where he had moved after the war. I
cannot find a CSA soldier listed in my files whose father was John H.
Eaddy. Trisvan Eaddy had a younger sister named Sarah Martha Eaddy, who
was born on December 28, 1834, and could have been the recipient of the
letter written to someone named Sarah.

Vanik S. Eaddy, Ph. D.

Trisvan Eaddy was killed by a train in Belleview, FL. Foul play was
suspected by his brothers who believed that he had been murdered and laid
across the track, because his money belt was gone.
