A COLLECTION OF LETTERS FROM
WILLIAM EDWARD SHORT
TO HIS SISTER ANN
I received a note from one of our readers asking about posting a message regarding the Civil War and she also mentioned letters. You all know me and Civil War letters!!!! I wrote back to her and told her I'd be glad to make the posting for her in the
Genealogy Forum's American Civil War History Special Interest Group newsletter,
the Weekly Fireside, if she'd just write up what she wanted. I also asked about the letters, whether it would be possible to share them with others. It turned out
she was a go-between for a gentleman with whom she works. BUT, in helping him, she found she also has Civil War ancestors. I've been able to gather some information for both of them.
Not long ago, I received 11 letters via snail mail from Larry Boynton,
grgrandson of William
Short to share with you all. These letters are not to be used
elsewhere. If you wish to contact Mr. Boynton, please email
me.
