“Camp Near Camden, S.C. February 26, 1865

My Dear Wife: — I have no time for particulars. We have had a glorious time in this State. Unrestricted license to burn and plunder was the order of the day. The chivalry has been stripped of most of its valuables. Gold watches, silver pitchers, cups, spoons, forks, etc. are as common in camp as blackberries. The terms of plunder are as follows: The valuables procured are estimated by companies. Each company is required to exhibit the results of its operations at any given place—one-fifth and first choice falls to the share of the commander-in-chief and staff, one-fifth to the corps commander and staff, one-fifth to the field officers of regiments and two-fifths to the company.

            ….I am not joking. I have at least a quart of jewelry for you and all the girls and some No. 1 diamond rings and pins among them….We took gold and silver enough from the d—d rebels to have reduced their infernal currency twice over. This (the currency) whenever we come across it, was burned, as we considered it utterly worthless…The order to march has arrived and I must close hurriedly. Love to grandmother and Aunt Charlotte. Take care of yourself and the children. Your affectionate husband Thomas J. Myers, Lieutenant. The letter was address to Mrs. Thomas J. Myers, Boston, Mass.
