| | Description: | Conflicting emotions have tossed me about, all unmindful of my poor heart, fairly
disturbing my rest at night, until to day. To add to my trials, my
best friend, and brother, Hal. yesterday
started for home. How sad I felt! But I could not bear to pain his noble heart, so I
strove to appear cheerful. I did not send even a line to you, by him , something restrained me--told me I should soon
recieve a letter from you--. and I could not-- dare not
write in my. (then) unhappy state of mind. True enough, when the mail arrived this
morning, a letter came for Hal. My heart told me, that in that
envelope was a letter for me. Lieut. Boisbine, for me, opened it and my heart was gladdened.
Your letter found me well, and made me happy. I
say "happy." Hope was infused into my heart, and with Hope comes Happiness. |
