The Civil War Letters of Jakob Weiss

April 11, 1863

<Fragment>

I would write a lot more.  Lincoln’s wife is not much taller than Meri is but she has a big head.  And Abraham is real nice, tall and good man but different clothes would be good for him.  I also want to write about our general in a letter, he is in charge of the whole Potomac army.  I have seen the general often, the Potomac army is the biggest of them all.

I hope this letter will find you all well, that is my dearest hope.  Best greeting and best wishes and Gods blessing, your dear son

Jakob Weiss
