Content
Lt. Goodrich, 21st Mass. Infantry Rgt., writes to a cousin from Mt. Sterling, KY. He states that the regiment remains there, largely because of a request from the local citizens who no longer regard them as a threat. He frequently suffers from severe bouts of homesickness, attributed to local civil life reminding him of home.
