Case, 1862 November 13  | | | | Published: | 2001 | | | | Subjects: | The Corinne Carr Nettleton Civil War Collection | UVA-LIB-Text | UVA-LIB-Nettletoncivilwarletters | | | | Description: | I recieved your charming letter of the 2d just as I was taking my letter of
the 9th to the office and I thought I would wait and answer it. But, Addie mine, I had no idea of waiting six days ere attending to that important and not unpleasant duty — but my health was
in such a state — that I was unable to attend to "office duties."
But lest I frighten you, I will tell you all — just as it really
was — I had a slight attack of Liver Complaint which troubled me
some, but I am recovering from it now — not in my fancy — but really
getting well — I am somewhat thinner and
weaker than I was, but that might have been expected — During
the entire time, I have remained in the office — so you see I
have not been "dangerous" by any means. I should not have been so
explicit, but you are so fearful I half conceal the real truth, but my
darling rest assured I can conceal
nothing from you — which I know you so wish
