 Description: THE most far-reaching social development of modern times is the revolt of woman against sex servitude. The most important force in the remaking of the world is a free motherhood. Beside this force, the elaborate international programmes of modern statesmen are weak and superficial. Diplomats may formulate leagues of nations and nations may pledge their utmost strength to maintain them, statesmen may dream of reconstructing the world out of alliances, hegemonies and spheres of influence, but woman, continuing to produce explosive populations, will convert these pledges into the proverbial scraps of paper; or she may, by controlling birth, lift motherhood to the plane of a voluntary, intelligent function, and remake the world. When the world is thus remade, it will exceed the dream of statesman, reformer and revolutionist.

 Description: With pleasure I avail my self of the first opportunity to respond your ever dear letter of the 1st inst which was recd the 4th. I have been very anxious to reply sooner but could not possibly do so my dear friend I can not find words to express the delight with which your letter was received and read, just at the time of its reception the two grand Armies in Virginia began to move. That day we had been under arms & in the saddles alday. all was excitement looking forward to the result of the coming great battle. of course it was a time for excitement, curious thought & sadness. late on the evening above mentioned, when I felt that our thoughts prayers & vigilent acts should be directed to the great task before us to be performed, I, for my part felt quite dejected & very anxious as to the issue of the next few days, Just then your pleasing & ever welcome letter came The well recognized hand writing upon the back sent a thrill of joy to my very soul & when I had given its interesting pages a carefull perusal you must know that my countenance wore an expression of delight for just then a friend past by & remarked "Bob that must be a letter from your lady love. See boys said he how his brow is lit up. I answered no, but told him that it was from one whom I love as such & true it is there is no one who has a larger space in my heart than the one to whom I am now writing.

 Description: I avail myself of the pleasant opportunity of droping you a few lines which I hope will reach you safe & find you in the full enjoyment of health & prosperity. I have not heard from you since through your letter of the 2nd of July which I received while at the Hospital, I answered it immediately telling you that I should leave for home in a short time which I did. I left Richmond the 13th day of July. When I last wrote I instructed you to direct your letter to Sorrells, Essex Co but on my way home I learned that the mail was not running to that office owing to the enimy having broken up the Mail route while on his line of March to Richmond but Since I have been home the line has been reestablished consequently letters sent by the directions given you will reach me safe.

 Description: The ever dear white winged messenger from your hand of the 23d just came duly to hand yesterday which found me comparitively well & truly glad to hear from you. Tis useless for me to undertake to give you an idea of the pleasure it affords me to receive a letter from you or to discribe the feeling & interest with which each & every line is carefully read. Would that I could be the recipient of such dear letters every day but truly it is a pleasure that such a character as I do not deserve. Well Christmas is over, it past very quietly with me I met with no gay crowds or rather visited no place where there was merry making. Christmas day I went to Church & heard a very good & appropriate Surmon delivered by Doctor Duncan of this City in the after noone I called on a friend for a Short time & at night went to Church again. Thus past the day making the fourth Christmas Since the war all of which I have spent away from home. The only treat I had during this Christmas week was the receipt of you Ever welcome letter which was handed me yesterday about noone. I am just learning how to appreciate such pleasures. it was always very agreeable to me to correspond with my friend, but situated as I am now makes it doubly so. a way from my home & among Entire strangers leaves me quite a lonely life, it is truly more monotonous here than it was in all my Experiences in camp. tis true, I believe that I have made many freinds while here but I am deprived of the social comforts that I enjoyed with my company for there, I have a fond brother whose society has been the greatest source of my pleasure ever since I have been old enough to duly appreciate a brothers love and were I deprived of a correspondance with you dear Kate - dreary, & all most comfortless, would be Every hour of my life. Just think what a pleasure to have some dear loved one who, though separated from me by many miles, still I have the pleasure of speaking with though it be through the silent medium of the pen, tis truly gratifying believing as I do that I am honored to night with this pleasure of writing to one who loves me with a pure sisterly unselfish love on whose word I may, with impunity confide, believing that her pure heart knows no treachery, one whom I love above all others of her sex, save her to whom I have given my heart & hand, with the promise that the arm & hand which wields this pen shall shield her fragile form, through a life time that I hope may be as pleasantly ahead as the few short hours are now in writing to my dear Sister Kate.

 Description: Again I have the pleasure of responding to your Ever dear & affectionate letter that reached me to day the perusal of which was done with no little degree of pleasure. I can not find words to express my self on the present occasion could I but wield the pen of a novelist, I might passibly be able to give some faint idea of my high appreciation of your dear letters and the pure unselfish friendship you have to long & so repeatedly expressed for me how often in my silent musings does my mind wander back to the days when I had no knowledge of you, before I was honoured with your acquaintance & your friendship. how different were the lonely hours spent then, no fond anticipation lay before me of a day that would bring with its natural charms a messenger from a dear dear friend in the distance, a letter from you dear Kate. How sad & still how pleasing are the many changes since first we met, both combined are truly almost incomprehensible. think, for a moment, but a little more than a year ago we were as those who had never lived to each other but time with its many changes find us now as it were bonded & bossom friends. how pleasing it is to me to think that I have the esteem & confidence of a friend so pure, so noble, as your self. Tis truly an honour not merited by me I can scarecely realize that one so insignificant as my self should enjoy such pleasures as are realized from such a pleasing correspondence. Well dear Kate, you had need not expect a long or interesting letter this time as my mind is restive it seems that it cant possibly be concentrated or centered upon any one particular subject. Not withstanding the present moment is a time when I should feel or rather be able to produce some sentimental language for now it is about Eleven oclock at night. No sound breaks the stillness of the night save the constant roar of the rapid waters of the James River as it rushes madly over the rocky falls wending its way along the winding current towards its mother ocean. Other than that, all is quiet. The blazing stars shine brilliantly high up in their orbit while the gentle moon sheds its silvery light over all nature. Still I cant feel sentimental since I cant find words to express my self to night. I hope you will excuse my brevity & I'll promise to do better nex time, but that is a promise that I aught not to make, as I'll be most sure to break it for I am not endowed with the mental faculties which enables one to write a communicative or interesting letter. still I am fond of writing, if I cant interest or give information. I dont exactly agree with my dear little friend Lou. She seems to think that letters should not be written unless it bears important news, or something cheering or animating but it is not so with me. I like to speak at a distance with my dear friend through the silent medium of the pen tis truly a pleasure that I would not be deprived for the world. I could not dispence with such a pleasure while I am blessed with the power of writing I must profit by it. Well dear Kate the old Bacon Clock has just told by its lonesome ring the approach of midnight hour, so I must close. My love to all with a full portion for your self.

 Description: Your very kind & dear letter of the 21st inst reached me safely a three days ago which found me quite well & truly glad to hear from you & to hear that you with your Fathers family were well but I am very sorry to hear of your unpleasant feelings from the tone of your letter you appear to be in a measure greatly troubled. your language was such as would lead one to believe that you feel like one forsaken, like one enshrouded with the dark shaddows of gloom wending this way as it were in some isolated region amid trials & troubles unspeakable with no one to cheer you. no sound of a merry or well known voice to brake the stillness of the midnight hour. no strong arm to shield thy fragile form in the hour of apparant danger. no fond eye to meet the steady gaze as you look to the dark & untried future. dearest Kate, would that I was capable to day of speaking to you with lanugage that would cheer your drooping spirits, to clear remove the dark cloud from oer your way & brighten your path with the briliant sunshine of joy & consolation, but as it is using one of your expressions "You must take the will for the deed." I am exceedingly anxious to have the full causes of your troubles not that I could feel that I would be able to soothe you in the least but I would be very glad to know all that in any way gives trouble or displeasure to my dear & ever faithful friend Kate. If the secret of your discomfort is not too profound I will be much gratified to know all about it, with a promise never to divulge it to any one. well for a change of the subject I will give you a little of the news of the day. it is generally believed that our Government is about to send commissioners to confer with the Federal authorities preparatory to coming to some terms of peace. may the blessed Lord grant that they may be able to come to some honorable terms of peace.

 Description: Your very kind long looked for & ever welcome letter of the 11th just reached me safely about 8 oclock last night. I was truly delighted to hear from you. I felt exceedingly anxious about you when I wrote to you in September I was by no means sure that my letter would ever reach you. consequently I laboured under many fears & doubts as to whether I should ever hear from you again or not & to be deprived of a correspondence with so dear a friend as I claim you to be would be truly hard to bear with. Ah! my dear Kate I am sure you can form no idea how much I missed the pleasures of your dear sweet letters during our long silence. I was truly deprived of a pleasure beyond the comprehension of many but now that our correspondence has commenced again I feel perfectly delightful I hope that nothing may happen to prevent a regular correspondence as long as we continue to be such devoted friends. I am satisfied that marriage on my part will never make me forget my dear sweet sister Kate as for my dear little friend Lou she is well aware that you & I are devoted friends & correspondents & I know her well enough to be perfectly satisfied that one of her kind & gentle nature will, or does highly appreciate your true & unselfish friendship for sure, but as for marrying, indeed my friend that is something that I certainly dont expect to do soon my present situation will not admit of any thing of the sort. were I to get married now I dont think that I would be doing any lady justice in consequece of my embarrassed situation in life. I am fully determined never to marry any one until I feel capable of placeing the object of my affections in a paralel condition to her present one or better it if possible. Therefore I fear it will be a long long time before I can realize any thing of the kind. Well enough on that subject I am truly glad to hear that your dear brother & friend Willis are safe at home after the great fall of our poor old Confederacy. it is truly a great blessing that they were spared to return to their homes & loved ones. I assure you that I have really enoyed peace & quietude since the close of the war not withstanding that it did not end in accordance with my desire & at first I was truly thunderstruck, but when I considered that the grief of one could not possibly do any good I concluded I would try to enjoy peace & the sweets of home once more & try to thank God that it was no worse & that a few of us were spared to tell the tale. You see from the steading of my letter that I have left old westmoreland for a season & am at this time staying at this place where I expect to be for several weeks. will try to keep you posted as to when I shall remove from here so that your letters may always be properly directed so they may reach me safely. you must write to me as often as you can your letters are such a great comfort & satisfaction to me. You must remember me kindly to your Pa & Ma & sisters & all enquiring friends if there be any, but of course I dont expect there are any from the fact that I have no acquaintances in that section of the County. With much love for your dear self believe dear Kate to be as ever

 Description: Your most dear, & ever welcome letter of the 3rd inst. reached me safely a few days ago which found me very well & truly glad to hear from & to hear that you together with your father's family were enjoying good health & prosperity, with the exception of the little bad feeling which prevented you from attending Church but I truly hope that ere this reaches you, you may be fully restored to perfect health again. Well Sis. Kate it is now drawing very near Christmas. Many in this place are in anticipation of a gay time, at balls & parties but I dont expect to be here during the Christmas. My calculation is to leave here Christams night for home if I am not disappointed. That is if the Steam Boat does not fail to make its usual trip from Baltimore. I cannot tell now whether I will return to this place soon or not, it depends altogether upon future arrangements. I reckon you had better not answer this, until you hear from me again as there is no regular line of communication to my County & as it is near mid winter the Steamers are about making there last trips. Consequently we are soon to be deprived of the only means of Public conveyence or Communications with this place Should I return to Fredericksburg again I will write to you immediately. I truly hope you may spend a pleasant time during the Christmas. I really wish it was in my power to visit you this Christams I am sure I could spend a pleasant time. it was two years the 14th of this month since we parted. Well do I remember that eventfull day. What strange things time has brought about. Two years ago we knew each other only as strangers tonight I address you my Dear Kate as Sister & must say as I have often said I love you as such I feel like I am writing to one who truly merits all my love, in whose heart I am proud to say I have a place, according to my unshaken confidence in your most noble & worthy self. Remember my dear Sister that though we be ever separated, you will ever be a bright star on the pages of my fond memory if life is spared & fortune smiles I am determined to see you. I assure you there is nothing that would be more gratifying to me than a visit to Rose Dale, the home of my much love Sister Kate. The night is growing old I must close for the present by wishing you a Merry Christmas & happy New Year my love to all, wish your dear self may God forever bless you.

 Description: Your very welcome missive by the hand of Annie, could not have been otherwise perused than with some mental effect. I always feel sad, when I think of those who once were our brother associates; but they are gone, & their graves, we can not but think, are the monuments of living spirits, whose bodies have assumed originality. There is a time for sadness & a time for pleasure; & of the former, we ought to be submissive as possible, knowing that it proceeds from afflictions, bereavements, &c. inflicted for our benefit.

 Description: You very kind and ever dear letter of the 5th of April was duly recieved which found me quite well & truly glad to hear from you. I reckon you think very strange of me for not replying sooner but when I tell you the reason I know you will forgive me. About 5 or 6 weeks ago my eyes became so very weak that I could not possibly see to read of wrote consequently I could not answer your letter, & even now, it is with the greatest difficulty imaginable that I can barely make out to write I am reduced to the painfull necessity of wearing glasses. it is truly a sad missfortune for ones eyesight to be so seriously impaired as is the case with me at this time, but I hope by the constant use of green glasses to have my sight restored. My Brother once suffered with the same missfortune but regained his sight by wearing glasses. I hope I may be equally fortunate.
