Five of these letters are from Knight to his wife, Mary, while he was serving as a private and then a sergeant in Company D (which later became Company K) of the 29th Regiment, Georgia Volunteers. He described camp conditions and the health of fellow soldiers as they moved from Georgia to Mississippi and back to Georgia. He died in Milltown, Berrien County, GA, of disease. There is also an 1863 letter by S. S. Siler and a military receipt.
