Case, 1862 January 23  | | | | Published: | 2000 | | | | Subjects: | The Corinne Carr Nettleton Civil War Collection | UVA-LIB-Text | UVA-LIB-Nettletoncivilwarletters | | | | Description: | After patiently waiting for several days, I have been rewarded by the
reception of a kind letter from my only correspondent, and as a matter
of pleasure, rather than duty, I devote this stormy evening to answer
it Capt. Wood came back yesterday, and the letter you sent by him,
Hallie gave me to-day. Have I not sufficiently answered it? Dear Addie, may I not consider part thereof as
though it never had been written? Now as Hallie has told me all, do not for a moment think that any such thing could make me "curse" you, or even
make me think otherwise of you, dear Addie,
than I always have. Only allowmeto love you, dearest. Will you not?
You have doubtless recieved one or two letters since you wrote the letter now
before me. I shall have little rest until I recieve a reply. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

opportunity to try to answer it. I say try, for I
am inad- equate to the task of making my
letters as interesting as yours, but if they are as productive of
happenings as you persist in saying they are, why, I will give you any
quantity of them. Yours, well, I can compare them
to nothing but angels visits, and like them, I could wish they were more
frequently received. You may imagine my joy at receiving yours today
it made me happy, for it reassurred me that you love me, and you know, how
that is. Do you not | | | Similar Items: | Find |

Case, 13 August 1862 | | | | Published: | 2000 | | | | Subjects: | The Corinne Carr Nettleton Civil War Collection | UVA-LIB-Text | UVA-LIB-Nettletoncivilwarletters | | | | Description: | I embrace the first oppertunity I
have to write you to apease you of my perfect safety. You have heard of the
great battle of the 9th and must be anxious to learn
of my fate. I escaped without a scratch, and am grateful to God for
his mercy. I knew when I wrote you last that when an engagement should
seem that we should be sent to the front. but I
could not tell you, for I knew you would suffer so much on my account.
Now that the battle is over, the rebels in full retreat and only 104 104 men left in the noble old
7th I can tell you. Gen. Pope said he wanted
Tyler's Brigade (now Geary's) in the front “to set an example to
the eastern troops”and nobly has the example been set. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

Case, September 9, 1862 | | | | Published: | 2000 | | | | Subjects: | The Corinne Carr Nettleton Civil War Collection | UVA-LIB-Text | UVA-LIB-Nettletoncivilwarletters | | | | Description: | Your very short, but withal kind letter of Aug. 18th,
I recieved yesterday, and although there is no
certainty of a chance to send it, I will reply to it today. You will
forgive me for writing on so poor quality of paper, when I tell you that
mine is all with the company wagon, and this sheet is all I could
obtain out here in the woods. You will wonder why I do not oftenerwrite to you and what can induce me
to remain silent for so long a time, I wrote you a letter a few days since,
but could not send it until a day before yes=
terday. —In it, I gave you a very hasty sketch of what we had
been doing for the two or three weeks previous, and said "when we could
remain 24 hours in a place, I had much to write you. Although we have
remained in our present position for nearly forty eight hours, we know not
how soon we may move three, ten or twenty miles, but I will do all I can
in the interim. My health (notwithstanding the constant exposure)
remains in excellent condition, which I consider somewhat remarkable, as
the officers who are much better cared for than the men, and very many of
the men are suffering from Colds. summer complaints, &c. Perhaps it is owing to your prayers, and your wish for
me to care for my health. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

Case, 25 November 1862 | | | | Published: | 2000 | | | | Subjects: | The Corinne Carr Nettleton Civil War Collection | UVA-LIB-Text | UVA-LIB-Nettletoncivilwarletters | | | | Description: | Does my chirography look familiar to you? or has it been so long since you had the
pleasure of seeing a specimen that you fail? But I have just recieved two darling letters from you dated Nov. 9th
& 16th, in both of which you complain of not recieving
a letter from “Charley” fortwo-three
weeks. I do not wonder that you begin to feel alarmed about him, but calm your
fears my love, I am neither dead nor changed, & I am enjoying better health
than I have for three weeks past, and am steadily gaining, so that I think there is
no immediate danger of my demise nor consignment to the Hospital.— I must
apologize for not writing within the past week as I promised to do.— We
have changed the Pro Marshal, and with the change came a great
deal of work for
“us four clerks”, and we have had to keep
hard at work from dawn of day until half past ten at night.
Thus you see but very little time for letter
writing remained for us. Will you not pardon me
under the circumstances? | | | Similar Items: | Find |
