Letter from Adelaide E. Case to Charles N. Tenney
On Thursday Evening, May 6th, 1862, Addie writes to Charlie about her continuing
experiences as a school teacher in East Claridon, Ohio. In the teaching
tradition of the time, she boards around and in this case, she is boarding with
Libbie Armstrong. In this letter, she focuses on her experience with two of her
students, Kate and Mary Page. Both students refuse to join the class in morning
and afternoon Bible readings and this causes Addie much distress. Addie also
continues her conversation about her love and longing for Charlie.
