Perhaps I can not be quiet long enough to write much of a letter. for I
heard this morning. that Hallieis over to
Auntie's and I wish very much to see him. I do not know whether he
will come over home or not. I presume I can be more contented when
writing to you than any other way.. I do not feel very contented any way to
day. the battle of Pittsburg Landing has
occupied my thoughts most of the time since thursday. How frightful! I
have been reading the particulars of it this morning. and it causes me
to tremble. I would so like to know if you are safe to day dear Charley
I feel so lonely and sad to day that
all manner of thoughts enter my mind. Perhaps it is wrong but I
sometimes wish that you were not in the army. but I feel that it is your
duty to be there, therefore I will try and be reconciled. I do not
wish to discourage you dear one, but my heart sometimes rebels. | | Similar Items: | Find |
