40 LETTERS (ONE IS A TELEGRAM), 2 PHOTOS, ONE MAP, AND ONE POST-WAR VETERAN DOCUMENT, 3 COVERS. THESE ARE LETTERS PASSED DOWN FROM HOSEA PAUL DURING THE WAR. HOSEA AND SEVERAL OF HIS SONS SERVED IN THE ARMY ON THE UNION SIDE. THE LETTERS ARE WRITTEN BY HOSEA, A FEW BY HIS SONS, A FEW BY OTHER OFFICERS AND SOLDIERS TO HIM, AND A FEW BY FAMILY MEMBERS. THEY ARE ALL WAR DATE.

I HAVE JUST BROWSED THESE BUT DID SEE SOME GOOD CONTENT SUCH AS. RAILROAD FROM NICHOLASVILLE TO KNOXVILLE..... BURNSIDE HAS ORDERED THE RR TO BE BUILT AT ONCE AND GEN BOYLE HAS ORDERED THE IMPRESSMENT OF 6000 SLAVES IN KENTUCKY TO BUILD IT. DESCRIBES THE TOWN OF OBERLIN: THERE IS A VERY FAIR SPRINKLING OF OUR COLORED BRETHREN.

THEY ARE NOT NGGERS BUT WELL-DRESSED, RESPECTABLE PEOPLE; LIVE IN THE BEST HOUSES. ONE OF THE STORES HAS A WHITE CLERK AND THE OTHERS ARE PRETTY WELL MIXED. LANGSTON (a black resident) THE LAWYER HAS HAIR ABOUT THE COLOR OF MINE AND LOOKS NEAR ENOUGH LIKE W. UPTON TO BE HIS BROTHER.

I DO NOT SEE ANY SENSE IN COPPERHEADS CALLING SUCH A MAN A NGGER. WE HAVE ALL SHADES AT THE LADIES HALL (WHERE HE BOARDS) BUT NO SHADES AT OUR TABLE. AT THE TABLE PARALLEL THERE ARE THREE GIRLS. ONE OF THEM REAL GOOD LOOKING WITH RED CHEEKS, BLUE EYES, AND STRAIGHT HAIR. THE OTHERS NOT SO GOOD LOOKING BUT QUITE WHITE-ALL THE NGGER ABOUT THEM I COULD PUT IN MY EYE. THIS LETTER GOES ON TO TALK OF BLACKS GOING TO SCHOOL AND MENTIONS ABE LINCOLN AND ANDREW JOHNSON. TALK OF INDIANA REGIMENTS PASSING BY HIS CAMP AND EVEN A NEGRO REGIMENT PASSING BY (SEE LAST PHOTO). THERE IS ALSO LOTS OF FAMILY TALK. THE NUMBER OF LETTERS BREAK DOWN AS FOLLOWS BY YEAR. 1861--2, 1862--5, 1863--16, 1864--11, 1865--3, UNDATED--2.
