One letter addressed to Mary Mitchell from Wallace Mitchell dated June 17, 1861. Pertains to low morale of the soldiers in the encampment. He reports that they are not wanted in either the U.S. service or the state service as they have enough men, so they will either be honorably discharged or forced to remain in camp with nothing to do until their time is up.
