AL 4 pp. April 1, 1862 Letter from Adelaide E. Case to Charles N. Tenney

Addie expresses concern about Charles' wounded arm and her belief that he is downplaying its severity, as well as sadness for others (Fred; Arthur Cavanah) who were wounded or died. She mentions a conversation she had with a friend, Laurie. Addie worried when she heard about a battle and then did not hear from him for three weeks. Having been offered a six month position as a teacher, she seeks his opinion on whether or not she should accept. She urges him to come home before she starts teaching. At the end, she asks if Charlie knows Edwin Williams and Will Braden of the 29th Ohio Regiment.
