He volunteered, at age 18, on April 15, 1861 for six months and on March 17, 1862, Grady enlisted a second time. (See more details below.) Of these five manuscript letters, the first, dated August 18, 1861, was written from Sewell's Point, Virginia, to his father while Grady was in the 2nd Regiment, N.C. Volunteers.The other four letters (dated Feb. 21, March 29, and May 29, 1864, and Jan. 4, 1865) were written to his sister by Grady while in the 51st Regiment, North Carolina Infantry. The first letter, which is incomplete, informs his father of the arrival of a part. of the 2nd Regiment at Sewell's Point in the third week of August, 1861. The letters of Feb, 21 and March 29, 1864, speak of valentines exchanged by soldiers in his regiment and girls in his neighborhood back home. The letter of May 29, 1864, written from Chimborazo Hospital at Richmond, says that no others of his company are there, but says \"there is several Tar Heels here.\" The last letter, Jan. 4, 1865, written from near Wilmington, N.C., seems oblivious to the likelihood of an impending successful Federal assault against Fort Fisher.    Grady volunteered for six months service in Company C, 2nd Regiment (Infantry), North Carolina Volunteers. He served until November 18, 1861, when his company was disbanded and his regiment redesignated the 12th Regiment, North Carolina Infantry. On March 17, 1862, Grady enlisted a second time, this time in Company C, 51st Regiment, North Carolina Infantry. He remained with this regiment until paroled at Greensboro, N.C., on April 29, 1865. Grady was wounded in battle at Drewry's Bluff, Virginia, May 14, 1864, again in the trenches north of James River, Virginia, toward the end of 1864, and presumably again at Kinston on or about March 7 or 8, 1865. As a result he was hospitalized at Richmond in Chimborazo Hospital during May and June, 1864, at Goldsboro in December, 1864, and at Greensboro on March 9, 1865.Grady survived the war, returned to \"Waterloo\", and in 1870 married and began his own family."},{"label":"Digital Characteristics","value":"2 pages"},{"label":"Format","value":["Finding aids"]},{"label":"Rights","value":"The SA of NC considers this item in the public domain by U.S. law but responsibility for permissions rests with researchers."},{"label":"Source Collections","value":["William H.
