Case, 9 April 1862 | | | Published: | 2001 | | | Subjects: | The Corinne Carr Nettleton Civil War Collection | UVA-LIB-Text | UVA-LIB-Nettletoncivilwarletters | | | Description: | Perhaps I am placing myself in a position liable to censure, in apply- ing endearing terms to you - but when I
say "My precious Addie," I feel it from the
depth of my heart. Used as I have always been, to being repelled and
scorned by those who should have loved, to have the assurance that there is one who loves me, it
is not at all strange that I should be some-
what "outré" in my
"addresses". Had it been otherwise with me, I might perhaps be a
little more reserved in my expressions, but I feel that
my Addie will pardon this seeming break of
etiquette. | | Similar Items: | Find |
