Overall Family Civil War Letters 
Second paragraph, first sentence: “We are about fifteen miles from Louis Burgh and about forteen miles from Soulimanthen?.”
I believe the last word should be ‘Sewell Mountain’. Lewisburg WV is about thirty miles east of Sewell Mountain, so he is saying that they are camped roughly halfway between Sewell Mountain and Lewisburg WV.
I am currently researching my gg grandfather who was in the 44th Ohio Volunteer Infantry, which fought alongside the 36th at Lewisburg. This blog will be an invaluable resource. Many thanks for posting these letters.

Wow, I did not know about the “approve” button so this comment from 2014 is still much appreciated. I think you are correct, so I will make the change to the text.
Was there any sign of the picture that Isaac mentions sending with this letter. I would love to know what he looks like.
Sorry, I do not have any pictures in this collection of letters. That would have been nice.
