Title A name given to the resource Slaughter Letters Description An account of the resource Welcome to the Montgomery Slaughter Letters. A few facts are worth keeping in mind as you browse the letters. Only one letter in this collection was written by Montgomery Slaughter himself, an 1862 letter he wrote to a Union general during a Federal occupation of Fredericksburg. The other letters were either addressed to him, or were forwarded to him due to their relevance to the matter of relief for the citizens of Fredericksburg following the destruction inflicted on the city in the wake of the December 1862 battle. With those facts in mind, happy reading!
