The diaries also include drafts of sermons, orations, and literary compositions. The correspondence that covers the period of Phillips's service in California consists primarily of letters written to him by his friends and family in Ohio. Phillips's Civil War correspondence and diary provide detailed accounts of Phillips's war experience in Tennessee and Georgia, including the Chickamauga and Atlanta campaigns, religious revivals in the Union Army, news from home, religion in the South, and slavery. Also included is a small group of letters and documents of Phillips's son-in-law Cary W. Kauke, including letters from his friend, Frederick (Fritz) Nussbaum of the 107th Regiment of Ohio Infantry (1862-1863). The collection also contains some correspondence of Addison S.
