This is a letter from John Wheeler, a union soldier, to his friends and family in his hometown. Wheeler writes from a Philadelphia hospital after an awful railroad journey there. The men sent to that hospital were transported in freight cars temporarily made into passenger cars. There are many severely wounded from the battle in Fredericksburg, which is why he was sent to a farther hospital. Wheeler asks his family to send him money so that he may get a furlough.
