Tenney, 1862 September 10-11 | | | Published: | 2000 | | | Subjects: | The Corinne Carr Nettleton Civil War Collection | UVA-LIB-Text | UVA-LIB-Nettletoncivilwarletters | | | Description: | Although but two days have passed since I since I last
wrote you yet and as I have not heard from you for so
long a time I am going to give you some more “spoiled paper” You must not act upon the
principle that the longer you neglect writing, the oftener I will
write. for it is a poor principle, You do not know how it grieves me when I do not
hear from you for so long a time. None but Dora understand the sorrowful disappointed look which I can not supress when day
after day the same answer “no letter” reaches me, I can not help at times but feel dejected and despairing, wondering if God does regard the prayer which so often ascends in
behalf of that absent loved one, --my idolized Charlie. But I attach no blame to you darling, because I
know that you write just as often as you can, so don't think I have
forgotten my promise-- to scold you no more. | | Similar Items: | Find |
