Letter from Adelaide E. Case to Charles N. Tenney
Writing from East Claridon, Ohio, where she works as a schoolteacher, Addie
expresses her despondancy at not receiving letters from Charlie and her
discouragement at news of recent advances by Confederate forces in Maryland,
Ohio, and Washington, D.C. She relates her neighbors' comments about the War and
expresses her frustration at their pessimism. She looks forward to her brother's
return home in a few days, expresses her love for Charlie, and wishes that he,
too, could return home soon.
