Scope and Contents note
The papers in folders 1-4 are Civil War letters (1862-1864) of William Lickly and Albert Barber, to and from friends and relatives. They were both members of the 18th Michigan Infantry Regiment. The letters contain articulate descriptions of military life and occasional commentary on the condition of "Negroes in the South." The post-war letters are concerned with Michigan farm life and religious activities.
Folder 5 contains letters between family members (1869-1874).
Note: A spelling change sometime between 1864 and 1866 added an "e" to Lickly, so that it is presently spelled Lickley.
