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
