 Description: Although two weeks was spent in anxiety yet the blessed last arrived. that "Charlie--my darling friend[?] is safe. You will wonder perhaps when I tell you that I had not entertained such ing fears in regard to your safety as formerly specially about the line of the battles of . I pray- ed just as for the of my loved one. but something seemed to me so confidentlyly Your Charlie is safe" that I would not doubt. Indeed dearest Charlie I felt more gl today than I have since darling that you are perfectly safe and that these strange emotions are not caused by the possibility of your being in danger. How strange it is that we are not so willing to listen to the voice of fear as we are to that of safety. I have been trying all day to dispute[?] these dismal thoughts but have not succeeded and have concluded to sit down and give you a good long "talking to" but I con- fess I do not know what to talk to you about. I can forgive you darling for not telling me the exact position you were to occupy should an engage- ment occur. but you must not repeat it. please do not love I prefer knowing your exact position as far a[s?] you can acquaint me of it. Had you fallen dearest. and in time I had learned that you had--forgive me darling for the the thought--decieved me I know not what my feelings would have been, but--I can imagine.

How does he prosper. and how does Steven Bishop prosper Although I never was very much in his Mr Bishops favor yet as he is a soldier I feel the same interest in his welfare that I do in others who are so bravely defending the "Stars and Stripes"
