Shortly after the Civil War began, volunteer women's groups all over the North formed in order to take care of the needs of soldiers at the front. The New England Auxiliary Association, part of the United States Sanitary Commission, had women from almost every town in Massachusetts. This letter, written late in the war to either Elizabeth or Fanny Wilson of Deerfield, talks about the receipt of pickles, and lint that would be used for dressing wounds. The yarn referred to in the letter would have been knit into scarves or sweaters.
