Description

Subseries G, Correspondence to General Silas Casey, 1868-1881, undated, includes letters written primarily from Washington, D.C. that relate to family matters; Casey is often very frank with his father, occasionally voicing strong opinions on professional matters. Many of these letters provide insight into Casey's personality, as he comments on this "miserable city" (Washington) and on being "thwarted and offended by ignoramuses."
