 Description: What a cold winter evening is this, but not cold enough to dirive away warm loving thoughts from the heart. But with those same loving thoughts of thee dear one are strange= =ly mingled sad ones. And for several days previous to this. those same sad thoughts those.--I am almost tempted to say uncwelcome forebodings. have lingered about my heart. at times coming[?] in to feel so very depressed in spirit. as to not care whether life or death were near. and at other times the warm tears would gush forth in torrents, and still I would not know for what I wept.. Is it owing the fact that I do not oftener hear from you dearest? I know of nothing else that could cause such feeling in my heart.. I know I am an ungrateful child. but then you know the heart will be human in spite of our efforts to make it appear different at times, Oh. darling. how very much I desire to see you.. How very many long months have passed since "last we met" and God only knos how many more will pass before we shall meet again, And you dear patient Charlie bear this seperation without a murmur.--you way off deprived of the common comforts of life, patiently endure, not only this seperation but toil privation and suffering while I surrounded say all that can make me happy except thy presence dearest, am bitterly complaning against an all wise Providence. who sees fit to seperate us for1 an indefinate time, Ought I not to be whipped?
