Amasa Walker to Exene Stoughton, June 5, 1864

North Brookfield, June 8, 1864

My Dear Miss Stouohton:

We have not heard from our son, Lt. Col. Walker, since the 25th and are very anxious about him. Supposing it is probable that you may have had more recent information from him, I write to ask that you will let us know how lately you have heard from him and how he was.

You have doubtless heard that our son Robert was killed at the battle of Newmarket last month.

Very sincerely yours,

Amasa Walker.

Miss Exene Stouohton,

Monticello, N. Y.
