I happened upon this letter in the archives of the University of Mississippi. Please click on this link:

The letter itself is very hard to read so there is a text transcription on the left hand side as you will see. It was written by Jeremiah Gage of Company A, 11th Mississippi Volunteer Infantry on July 3, 1863 from Gettysburg, PA. It'll put a lump in your throat.
