 Title:  Letter from Randolph Williams to Miss Mary-Stuart, Oct. 31, 1895 [a machine-readable transcription]  
 Published:  1995 
 Description: I might sit down and at great length tell you of the sorrow that has felled my very soul at the thought of the ruin at the beloved old place and then I might for a long time tell of my heartfelt sympathies with you dear people to whom if possible, the destruction of the sacred place means more than to us who have dwelt there for but a term of years — yet but half would be told, so I will not begin feeling assured that you know well enough my feelings of sympathy and sorrow. So bright, however, is the prospect for speedy relief and the rebuilding of the old place that our sympathies may be turned to congratulations. Of course you have seen of the good work in Richmond and other cities. Here in Baltimore Markham Marshall and I are stirring things up and hope to have a good report before long.

 Description: After receiving your very welcome letter last evening, I seal myself to comply with your request to write you. Your letter gave some very pleasant feelings and again it some feelings amounting almost to pain. because I thought there was a little considerable,, of flattery min- gled with it. Perhaps if you had been in the room when I read your letter, you might have seen me indulge a very little in that feminine weakness of blushing for indeed I was surprised. There is always some thing so disgusting to flattery in any form and especially when it from those that I wish to call by the endering name of friend that for the moment it creates within my heart a strange sensation that is hard to conquer I do not say this as a reproof. but that I may be understood. you may not have meant it for flattery but I took it as such, so if you value my friendship please do avoid flattery in every form towards me.

 Description: You will see by this, that I am at Laurie's school, and feeling rather idle & thought I would endeavor to find the where abouts of an almost neglected friend. I say neglected, for the reasons that I have written but once and then directed Camp Dennison. I afterward learned that you left about the time I wrote. If you did not receive that letter you undoubtedly think, Addie does not keep her promise very well. But I will hie away to other and more interesting subjects

 Description: After waiting long and anxiously I at last recieved your kind letter dated Sept. 16 Indeed I was surprised when I recieved it for I had almost dispaired the hope of hearing from you again. and having heard since you left Camp Dennison I thing that you must have felt somewhat relieved when you found yourself down the. You must have felt freed to some extent. I think that I should enjoy a ride on that , with it guarded by some of the gallant seventh. You spoke of your feelings during the fight of as being indescribable Perhaps they were similar to mine when I first heard of the fight Not knowing who were safe and who were not and also hearing that that idolized brother had passed into the cold hands of death you will not wonder that my feelings were sad and voluntarily turned to Charlie wondering if he too had entered that narrow void. It was then I again felt that strange sensation mingled with pity that I wrote you of when I first became acquainted with you I was then I really longed to hear from you but did not have the pleasure till last eve You wrote of sending a letter after recieving mine which I did not recieve Perhaps I will yet but do not think so Charlie I wish I could collect my scattered thoughts enough to write something worthy your perusal. but that seems impossible I wrote a letter to Hallie a few days ago including a few lines to you do you know whether he recieved it or not I sincerely hope you did. I read of the fight in which Col. Lowe fell. Noble man he died a cruel yet noble death It seems, when I realize the privations of. war, cruel for our (for our) brave youths to fall on the battle field with no kind friend to sooth and comfort them. But I would not sadden your thoughts. If you were here would we not have a nice ring? We miss Hal very much when we round the old while away the hours in music. He would never give us any peace till we would play and sing with him. Charlie I have a sweet little friend here in Mecca If it were not for her I would be very lonesome indeed. We are almost constantly together her name is Dora Leslie I wish you were acquainted with her. She is gentle and kind and still she is as perfect a piece of female vanity as I ever became acquainted with. [W or Sh]e attends the same school the same lesson and occupy the same seat. In fact some have intimated that our friendship was more for the sake of her brother and Hal than for each other (Ridicalous) If Hal knew who told me so he would laugh some. I saw Edwin Williams about two weeks ago. he said when I wrote to Hal to send word to Will. Braden that he was well and would like to see him. He wish very much to go to war again but does not health will permit him to do so. Charlie what a quiet day this is This morning it was warm and the sun was shining so beautifully but now hardly clouds have gathered together and completely obscured the sun. a slow drizzling rain is falling as if nature was shedding a few silent tears that the summer is ended and the cold winter is fast approaching. When the rain is falling in torrents I always turn my thoughts to the soldiers wondering when and how they are I do you if you will be obliged to camp out this winter Charlie you know not how many silent petitions have been sent to that high throne for your safety and darling Hallie's I sometimes wonder why life is so strange and why I am to this dull routine of life You may think that I have strange feelings indeed I have at times I know not for what I live. Do I do any good in the world? I fear not But what am I writing My thoughts have been way down south in Ole Virginny with Hal to day more than usual, and I scarcely know what I write Charlie are you fasting to day Dora to ask you she says tell him Addie and I are on green apples But I guess you will be tired when you have finished this nonsense give my love to Hallie and Please write soon and oblige me

 Description: I have heard gentlemen make the remark that when ladies began to write with a lead pencil to them, they guessed she wished to discontinue their correspondence But when you receive this, written with a pencil and on such paper I imagine that you will think worse than that, but do not harbor the thought for one instan dear Charlie that my feelings are such for indeed they are not I have no other paper, and my pens have all “got poor” therefore you will excuse this will you not? for I thought it necessary to write immediately as Capt. Aspen is in Warren and I do not know as I will get a chance to send again, nor do I know when he returns to war. Where are you to day are you engaged in some bloody battle or are you reposing in security in your tent or on some bed of sickness. How often my thoughts thoughts been with you to day There seems to be a presentiment of evil hovering round me, and my thoughts are with Hal and yourself, Can it be that you are in danger and some rebel strike—God forbid. I must dispel such thoughts. But would that I were near you. then I could feel that let come what might I would know all. I have a sad and gloomy spirit to day not much like the gay and joyous Addie that Hal used to tell about but lasteveI was to a sewing bee for the soldiers. and I caused a strange feeling to thrill through me which is hard to dispel

 Description: Is not Addie rather dilatory about writing to her absent but never forgotten friend? If you knew how busy she had been you would not wonder. We have been bereft of a kind and dear old uncle during the week and I have just returned from his funeral You doubtless, while in NC heard of “Old Squire Sperry” as he was called We feel his loss most deeply but still we could not wish to prolong his stay and see him suffer as he has during the past month

 Description: I again had the pleasure of perusing one of your kind and interesting letters last saturday and I can assure you that it afforded much pleasure. Charlie if you could witness the eagerness with which I grasp your letters you would not hesitate to leave your work to write to me. But of course I would not ask you to if you could not do so with convenience. I think you must have received another letter from me since you wrote about the 12th of this month. This is a beautiful day rather cool but not more so than we should expect for the season. Mr. James Beebe of Ohio Seventh is here. I do not feel so much like entertaining him as I do Tenney of said Regt and therefore act accordingly. He is trying to guess who I am writing to
