Abstract:
In this letter dated August 27, 1862, from Causton's Bluff near Savannah, Georgia, William W. Knight writes to his wife Mary. He informs her that he is feeling better and recovering from a severe illness that he believes was a fever. He assures her not to worry and emphasizes his honesty about his condition. William mentions being unable to procure steel for Mary's father but promises to do so once he's able. He notes the lack of news to report and playfully asks if she misses her "comfortable bedfellow." The letter ends with a simple closing and his signature.
