Maine Historical Society
Few personal letters remain in the collection of Shepley's war and professional materials.
Here, in December 1862, Shepley wrote to his mother, Anne T. Shepley of Portland about family news and concerns.
He urged his mother to write to him, saying, "I know you are not very fond of letter writing but I hope you will write me as often as possible and tell me what is going on in Portland."
