Dear Sara and Larry, It's me your brother Stephen. I have left home to enlist and serve. I heard last night that Lincoln was calling for 75,000 volunteers and when I heard of the states not following the constitution by secedin g I was very shocked, as you must have been. Then when the confederates marched through Baltimore I was even more shocked, the first deaths of war not even during a battle . Last night I realized that I must help our country overcome this obstacle. I have hopes that this country will become great, but if I want that to happen then I must act with my fellow northerners. I am sending this letter from Washington D.C. where I have enlisted. I am part of a regiment called the United Defenders. Me and the rest of the regiment get along really well. I will miss both of you duri...
