 Description: I can not refrain from penning you a few lines even if my worthy teacher should censure me for I am now in the schoolroom. So long a time has elapsed since I have received any thing from you that I fear you are ill. Oh! I had such a strange dream last night. I shudder even now when I think of it. You are lying ill and delirious where I could both see and hear you. You calling for me and yet I could not go to you. I struggled long earnestly and in vain, but there seemed some great obstacle between us which I could not surmount. And the more aggravating it was that these, were all whom I had ever had the least feeling of anger toward making me. One thing makes it almost laughable. Col. Tyler was one of them. I awoke completely exhausted and - do not laugh, dearest - weeping. Be assured, my darling, there was no more rest for me. Why bless your dearest. I have not read a letter from you for two weeks, and it is no wonder that such dreams, as the above come to torture me when you, before, have written so often.
