This collection was a gift to the Library by Corrine Carr Nettleton of Charlottesville, Va. on May 5, 2000.

It consists of correspondence, ca. 150 items, 1861-1863, between Charles Tenney, a Union soldier from Ohio, and Adelaide Case, a friend from Mecca, Ohio. The collection includes three photographs. Tenney is a Private in Company H of the Seventh Ohio Regiment. The letters show the development of the romance between the two as Tenney participates in numerous engagements during the Civil War.
