This collection consists of 6 letters and a photograph of a sketch drawn by C.W. Motes while he was stationed in Virginia during the civil war. The letters are all written by C.W. Motes to his "friend," and future wife, Miss Emma White.

Of particular note is the letter written in June 1864 in which C.W. Motes responds to learning from an earlier letter that Miss Emma's love is reciprocated.

This collection is based upon the records created and collected by Isaac F. Arnow.
