 Description: Will you think me very foolish if I write again so soon? You will not when I tell you the reason.. You remember in my letter written a few days ago I told you I had not heard from you for some time. and in consequence was feeling quite badly, Well darling I am now happy as ever,-aye even more so.. for hope ever cheering whispers to me that I may soon see --who? My Charlie? Yes indeed truly mine Laurie and Pappa how nice pap-pa sounds came to see me yeasterday and brought me your dear letter of the 25th that was what made me so very happy. Not, dear that I am happy because your health is so impaired that you deem it doubtful about your being able to go on with your regiment (for such dearest I feel to be the case. although you dread so much to tell me) but then you know the thought of once again seeing you the thought of hearing the gently words. "My own Addie" Do you anticipate my wish with regard to your getting discharged? I was so happy I almost forgot to tell you of it. How very kind in you to write to me and ask my advice, but truly darling I do not know how to give it. fearing that I may do wrong, but I will tell you my thoughts, Your health I know is very much impaired. or you would not think of accepting a discharge.. and such being the case, you are not now in a position where it has much of a chance for improvement.. for you are so constantly employed in the office that you certainly have but little time for exc[rcise?], Do not think that I mean the positiong you are now in is worse for your health. that constantly marching camping out e'ct; by no means, but then you know in order enjoy good health you must take a good rigorous exercise every day, and that I fear you can not now do besides the work you are now engaged in must of necessity be very tedious both to the mental and vital organs., Writing .(if I understand you rightly that is your chief employment) is hard work at any time. and how much more so must it be where it is followed day after day, And then love. you as well as Hal have informed me that you are very anxious to pursue your studies, and now is the time if ever. We are both young yet but not many years will we wish to remain as we now are-- we will want to be all to each other, And I am striving to become worthy truly worthy of thee my noble Charlie Were I a true woman I expect I should tell you to remain if possible and defend our country. but love. I can not. the sacrifice is too great.. our separation has been so long and such constant fear and anxiety has been borne so very long I feel as if we both need rest, Will you wonder what has become of my patriotism? It is all here yet. but I feel as if you had done your duty faithfully just as I desired you to do it,

 Subjects:  The Corinne Carr Nettleton Civil War Collection | UVA-LIB-Text | UVA-LIB-Nettletoncivilwarletters 
 Description: Much has transpired since last I wrote you - one week ago today, both in Virginia Tennessee and perhaps in Ohio. We have the accounts of the fight at Fredericksburg1, and of the almost certain destruction of that city, and is it any wonder that I am thank-ful Charlie is not an actor there among the scenes of strife and blood. But how many are there engaged. They may not all be Charlies, but they are probably somebody's father husband, friend or brother, fighting desperately for Union and Liberty, and how many torn and bleeding hearts will there be when the names of those who have fallen a sacrifice to foul, wicked treason are recorded. Yet I have no proof that you are not there. All I know is your allusion to the probability of the 1st Brigade remaining atin Harpers Ferry during the winter, and that you were (there) in the Pro. Marshall's office. But then your last letter was written long ago - nov. 25th and many changes may have taken place with the 7th Ohio, and - with my darling, since then. I am truly sorry that you are in a position where you can not write oftener to your Addie for it is a source of great anxiety to me that I do not oftener hear from you, but I have so often told you this that it is useless repeating it.

 Description: Will you forgive me for allowing one whole week to by without writing to thee when I know how much pleasure it affors you. Do not think darling that I have been volunintarily silent- far from it. Every day I have thought that another should not find you neglected, but the next would come followed by its usual work, which must be performed, and finding one, to all appearances as far from writing to you as the day preceding. Today I have sat down regardless of etc. determined that I will neglect you no longer.

 Description: Would you be offended if I were to say my dear Addie? for I'm sure I would much rather call you by the name my heart prompts me to. I am very well quite so. and trust you are. Brig--or rather Lieut. Case is also quite well. He has improve a great deal since he left home. and you may rest assured that he will be well cared for, for we all love him very much I know there is no man to whom I am as much attached as to your brother, you may well be proud of such a brother. I prophecy that no man will sooner reach a place in the hearts of the people equal to Col. Ellsworth or even Stephen A. Douglas or Lincoln, [part of page missing] than your brother,H[part of page missing] B. Case.

 Description: War has its visissitudes as well as the other phases of life and they are not a few I'll assure you. For the past few weeks things have been constantly changing; one day we would be reposing in perceived security and perhaps the next morning be awakened and moved to haste to prepare to meet the meet the enemy who were momentarily expected to come upon us, still except in the instance of Cross Lanes they have not made an open attack upon us. The ? But you will think this is a strange opening for a letter but today it is my "style" Among other changes, ten, includ ing Will B and my self, from Co. H. have been detailed as guards on the Steamer Silver Lake under command of Lieut Wood. (I wish very much that Hal was in his place) We have made these trips from Camp E, 12 miles above Charleston Va. to Gallipolis Ohio and we are now We have on board several of the wounded from the battle ofCarnix's Ford1 fought last Tuesday, and the remains of Col. Lowe of the 12th O. Regt. who fell at the same battle fighting bravely. Among the wounded are Col. Lytle of the 10th Regt Lieut. Col. Mason of the 13th and Capt McGoverty of the 13th. It is perhaps necessary for me to state that the day was won by our gallent Ohio boys. as you ere this musthave received the particulars I had no idea of the feelings produced by being engaged in a battle until the fight at Cross Lanes2. These feelings were indescribable. I had no thoughts of dodging the balls nor did I think of getting killed All I did was to take one thought of friends (including you, my dear Addie) then watch for an opportunity to send some "Secesh" to "Kingdom Come" but although we saw them on our front, right, and left, I thought I would reserve my fire till I was sure of my man, or at least till the order was given to fire so lost a chance to discharge my piece

 Description: You will doubtless think I mean you shall have enough of my nons sense but perhaps it will be as heretofore, you may not get this. However, I will address you once more. "I am well as usual, and hope these few lines will find you the same," and having a few moments liesure I improve the same in writing to you.-There,- cant I tell a thing two or three times if any one can? It would be a pleasure to me to be in Mecca, to-day. I could enjoy my self, "right smart, I reckon" and the Virginians say. Mecca, I suppose is not so lively now, as last year at this time. of course the War produces its awful effects even in Oildom, does it not? I, you percieve, am off the boat now, the Valley has become so quiet as not to need a guard, so we came off last Saturday

 Description: Here we are, right in sight of loyalOhio but refusinged the priviliege of entering within its borders, the authorities preferring that we should remain on the “sacred soil of Virginia.” But we are not long to have the privilege even of looking at the Ohio Shore, for at four P.M. we take the R. R. for Grafton. From thence I suppose we go to the end of the world,— Romney. Well, as I am denied the happiness of seeing my Addie. I will resort to the only feasible expedient, that of conversation on paper.

 Description: How do you do, this beautiful day? Did you ever see such a beautiful new years day in your life? The day here is as pleasant as the most delightful day I ever saw in May. The main things wanted thought, to make me perfectly happy to-day, are, first a letter from my Addie. second Hal's recovery from his present indisposition. He has not been well for the past few days and last night he was some worse, but is, I trust, better this morning I hope he will soon be able to resume his duties. He is not so bad however, as to call in the Doctor yet, and I hope will not.

 Description: Here we are after a retreat of about twenty four miles, at the place denoted above. I say retreat for I know not what else to term it for we have entirely withdrawn all troops, even picket from Romney & Springfield toward Cumberland. What the object is, I know not, unless it is like Gen. Rosecrans'1 movement fromSewell Mountain,2 oig to lure them back to those positions in order to whip them severely. If such is the case, it will prove a sorry advance for the Rebels. But I suppose you are "dying to know" the details of the march . Well I cannot do better than to make extracts from my diary. So you must excuse all the imperfections for it was written for myself.

 Description: I must add a few lines more to you my own dear friend. Hal has told me all. Do you imagine that those things would deter me from having the same feelings which I other= wise would have? Far from it, dearest Addie; my mind is not so prejudiced by contact with the world, as to make me think that the misdemeanors of one member of a family should detract from the merit of an- other. My own experience teaches me better. On the contrary, I love you better than ever. Do not think me presumptious. Addie if I say I love you. Do not discard me from your thoughts. I will try to make myself worthy of your love. Do I speak too assured? Hallie assures me that he has not the least object= ion to our correspondence, and leaves me to act as I see proper. With you, now rests my happiness Shall I be happy or the reverse? Do you ask me to wait until you become better acquainted with me? I do not ask or expect that on so short acquaintance you shall decide forever.
