Woolsey family letters during the War for the Union
    

Rebel bowie knives, “shin-plasters,” etc.

Eliza to Joe Howland.

March 12, ‘62.

Charley has come back safe and sound via Baltimore from Roanoke, with rebel bowie knives, “shin-plasters,” etc. He is ready to keep with us or go South when we go. He brought up parcels and letters from General Burnside for friends in New York, and took them on personally at once.
