In a photocopy of a letter dated 10 April 1863, William F. Evans of Glasgow, Ky. urges his brother Selby to write his nephews, Lt. Col. James C. and Capt. John E. Evans of the 21st Kentucky Infantry then stationed at Murfreesboro, Tenn. William boasts of the bravery and patriotism of his two sons, adding "should they fall I shall (bear?) the consolation to know they fell in our(s), the best cause on earth."
