Two letters on same sheet. The main portion contains a letter by Spencer to his mother (likely Mrs. Alice Spencer), written from "Camp parole Annaplis" (likely Annapolis, Maryland) and dated 25 December 1862. At the top of the first page is a brief introductory note written by Mary T. Gorham to Mrs. Todd, written from "Bristol" (likely Bristol, Rhode Island) and dated 29 December 1862. Gorham's letter states that below she has copied George's letter from the original, which was received by "Aunt Alice."
