This is not a tear..
I hope my tears are not quite so black as that ugly spot I can see no other reason why I do
not recieve a letter. Dear one please tell me in what way I have offended you for I
am sure that I have. or you would have written ere this. I have given my letters a
review in my thoughts but do not know what I could have written to cause you to
not write, unless it was the remark I made respecting your sending me
Miss Holcombs letters. Dear Charlie I did not intend to
write any thing in that, or any other letter to
alienate your affections from me. Darling will you forgive me if I have done wrong?
Oh, I can not believe. dearest. that such is the case. Charlie. would that you knew
Addies heart you would know that she could not willingly wound your feelings. Two
long weeks have fled since I recieved your last. I more like two months. I heard that
the "3rd Brigade" had moved but did not learn where it had gone. nevertheless I shall
continue directing to the "Valley of Virginia" until recieving instructions to direct
in some other direction. I am at home now. I came home friday last. "our folks" were
quite anxious for me to come. and I came. Do not wonder, my darling, that I did
not feel very desirous about coming. for how could I. but hush! do not allow me
to write to you in a discontented tone. | | | Similar Items: | Find |
