They usually just wrote one letter at a time and sent them when the messenger was available.
There were every kind of injuries you could imagine - and many you could not.

During the war, many soldiers wondered whether the war could ever be won and questioned the real purpose of it. After the war, many of the soldiers learned that many Americans did not support the war or their efforts, and that many Americans were angry with them for fighting in what became a very unpopular war. This led to anger and disillusionment. There were no welcome home parades as in other wars, and veterans felt like they had put their lives on the line for nothing.
When soldiers returned home, they often focused on reintegrating into civilian life. This could involve finding employment, reconnecting with family and friends, and adjusting to the routines of everyday life. Many veterans also sought support and resources to address physical and mental health challenges resulting from their military service.

Women and minorities in WW1Women played a vital role in the First World War, performing their 'traditional' tasks such as nursing, while making deep inroads into other industries like munitions production and transport, some women also played an important role in writing letters. Some soldiers who were wounded in battle could no longer read or write so, many women wrote letters and read incoming letters for soldiers who could not anymore. This played an important role in troop morale.

A person fighting the Civil War on the side of the South could expect, at the very best, to be living in a tent as a bedroom. Many soldiers slept on the ground wherever they could if there were not enough tents to go around. Soldiers would also sleep in barns or other buildings when they could. Many did not have blankets or a bed roll.
There could be many reasons for this, but one reason could be to discourage independent thought.
