away warm loving thoughts
from the heart. But with those same loving thoughts of thee
dear one are strange= =ly mingled sad ones. And for several days previous to
this. those same sad thoughts those.--I am almost tempted to say uncwelcome
forebodings. have lingered about my heart. at times coming[?] in to feel so very depressed in spirit. as to not
care whether life or death were near. and at other times the warm tears would gush
forth in torrents, and still I would
not know for what I wept.. Is it owing the fact
that I do not oftener hear from you dearest? I know of nothing else that could
cause such feeling in my heart.. I know I am an
ungrateful child. but then you know the heart will be human in
spite of our efforts to make it appear different at times, Oh. darling. how very
much I desire to see you.. How very many long months have passed since "last we
met" and God only knos how many more will pass before we shall meet again,
And you dear patient Charlie bear this seperation without a murmur.--you way off
deprived of the common comforts of life, patiently endure, not only this
seperation but toil privation and suffering while I surrounded say all that can make me happy except thy presence dearest, am bitterly
complaning against an all wise Providence. who sees fit to seperate us
for1 an indefinate time,
Ought I not to be whipped? | | | Similar Items: | Find |
