 Title:  Letter from Charles N. Tenney to Adelaide E. Case, 25 September 1862

 Description: Here I am once more in Virginia-- again on sacred soil. Not only in Va. but way up on the Blue Ridge, where the very clouds are often under our feet. It would be very pleasant, if it were not for two very serious drawbacks.-- It is quite cold, and we have to go down the mountain half a mile for water, There is a kind of Block house up here, from which and we have a splendid view of the surrounding country, particularly to the north and west. We can see the church-spires of Martinsburg with the aid of a field glass.- 21 miles distant and were it not for intervening hills and forest we could see Winchester. Away as far as the eye can reach the Alleghenies raise their lofty peaks, far above the heights of North Mountain and the Shenandoah Mountains both of which intervene. As far as romance goes, this is by far the most interesting place we have been in.

 Description: Very many days have elapsed since I last indited a letter to you, but you have been by no means forgotten, but while we have been tramping over the hills and vales of "sacred Virginia," and "Maryland, my Maryland," my mind has often wandered away up "where the water tastes like ile," and delighted itself in calling up hours never to be forgotten. But this is not telling you why I have not sooner written. Since we evacuated Cullpepper on the 19th of August, until we came to this point, (the 23d inst.) we have been constantly engaged in all the duties and troubles of an arduous cam- paign. When the rebels performed that astounding feat of outflanking the seat of war itself, we lay in a state of fancied security on the Rappahannock, never dreaming that two weeks later we would be fighting in Maryland, yet the deed was accomplished, and even Fredericktown a union city was invested and infested by a subtle and cunning foe. Of course, Maryland must be liberated, and who should do it, but the "Splendid Army of Va." Thus by a series of "forced marches," adroit escapes from a surrounding enemy, and "brilliant reconnoissances," we were transferred over into MD. hitherto to be known as "Capital defense army," and we have accomplished the task. — Maryland is free from rebel tread, though pol- luted by rebel dead. We have fought the battles of South Mountain and Sharpsburg, and the rebel army went out of Maryland 40,000 weaker than it entered. We — our Corps d'armee - occupy Loudon Heights below the far famed town of Harper's Ferry, and from the elevated position we occupy. we naturally feel above common people.

 Description: How do you do this beautiful morn= ing? Didn't we have a splendid view of "the Sacred soil" at sunrise? (I mean "us fellows.") How I wish you had been here for about an hour. But thenits of no use wishing, for you wouldn't come if the Rebs hadn't burned the bridges on the B. & O. R. R. above Martinsburg.

 Description: Permit me to address a few lines to you, hoping to interest you for a few moments. There, is not that in style? Now that I am to correspond with a Colonel's sister, I suppose I must "put on a little style." I - I - can't, -- dont know how. I evo-(come pretty near writing a naughty word)- rather not try, as I shall do as I see proper, unless there be certain contingencies arising. How is it? Must I?

 Description: I have had that most horrible of all diseases “Hypochondria,” and still feel a little “blue”,-- but I have no business to either. Why? Because I have just recieved your darling letter of the 12th. Now I am going by force of will, and an hours conversation with my treasure, to dispel all traces of this horrible feeling. I can do it, andIwill .

 Description: Quite a long time has elapsed since I last wrote you, and I fear you will think I am trespassing too far on your goodness and forbearance. But when I explain this unwanted silence, I think you will forgive me — at least in part. Two precious letters have been recieved from you, each of which deserves an "answer" complete in itself, byut at this time it is im- possible for one to write a very long or interesting letter.

 Description: I recieved your charming letter of the 2d just as I was taking my letter of the 9th to the office and I thought I would wait and answer it. But, Addie mine, I had no idea of waiting six days ere attending to that important and not unpleasant duty — but my health was in such a state — that I was unable to attend to "office duties." But lest I frighten you, I will tell you all — just as it really was — I had a slight attack of Liver Complaint which troubled me some, but I am recovering from it now — not in my fancy — but really getting well — I am somewhat thinner and weaker than I was, but that might have been expected — During the entire time, I have remained in the office — so you see I have not been "dangerous" by any means. I should not have been so explicit, but you are so fearful I half conceal the real truth, but my darling rest assured I can conceal nothing from you — which I know you so wish to know,

 Description: Does my chirography look familiar to you? or has it been so long since you had the pleasure of seeing a specimen that you fail? But I have just recieved two darling letters from you dated Nov. 9th & 16th, in both of which you complain of not recieving a letter from “Charley” fortwo-three weeks. I do not wonder that you begin to feel alarmed about him, but calm your fears my love, I am neither dead nor changed, & I am enjoying better health than I have for three weeks past, and am steadily gaining, so that I think there is no immediate danger of my demise nor consignment to the Hospital.— I must apologize for not writing within the past week as I promised to do.— We have changed the Pro Marshal, and with the change came a great deal of work for “us four clerks”, and we have had to keep hard at work from dawn of day until half past ten at night. Thus you see but very little time for letter writing remained for us. Will you not pardon me under the circumstances?
