Unidentified soldier of the 16th New Hampshire Volunteers in Mansfield, Louisiana, describes a prayer meeting at a black church, visits to New Orleans, and army life. "We are thinking that the Conscription Act will go rather hard with some of the patriotic(?) ones at home. I understand that if it has really become a law, that if we get home safely we shall not have to go again 'till all the rest have been'." Signed with sketch of an anchor, symbolizing virtue of hope.
