Pvt Ira Jeffers letters

Today I received an email from Eugene Mongello, a Long Island NY re-enactor, who has 70 letters from Pvt. Ira Jeffers of Co. F, 137th NY.
It will be interesting to see how his collection compares to the collection of Jeffers' letters transcribed by Charlie English, of the Stone House Museum in Windsor, NY ( home of the Jeffers family).
Ira was a good kid, a good writer, and his letters give good first-hand insight into the life of the men of the regiment.
