Tenney, May 6th, 1862  | | | | Published: | 2001 | | | | Subjects: | The Corinne Carr Nettleton Civil War Collection | UVA-LIB-Text | UVA-LIB-Nettletoncivilwarletters | | | | Description: | With a thankful heart I recieved your precious
letter tonight of the 28th? and cheer- fully devote myself to the pleasure of answering
it. I wrote ou last eve informing you that I had commenced my school. You
are mistaken, dear one, I shall always be "Addie" at least I hope that
to you I shall. No difference if they do add the appel -lations of
"Mistress," "Teacher" yet from under these coverings a strong semblance of
Addie may be recognizable. Yes darling, you heard aright in your
fanciful vision when you imagined hearing a chap-
ter read from
the Bible. I should not feel my-self worthy the name of
teacher, if I could not open my school with a chapter from God's Holy
Book. I also have my scholars learn a verse from some portion of
the Bible, which they may choose and repeat just before the
close of school. | | | Similar Items: | Find |
