Soldier letter from George Chalker of Michigan to parents. A six page letter from late August sent in early September from near Petersburg. Outstanding letter - talks about communication with rebels across picket lines with an agreement not to shoot. Talks about a friend who is missing from the regiment - George stayed back to watch the horses - he\'s hoping his friend was captured by the rebels and not killed. also talks about the killing of a rebel soldier. Interesting letter with information about how the picket lines were managed.
