Letter from Charles N. Tenney to Adelaide E. Case
Charles indirectly calls Addie "dearest", says he eagerly awaits letters from
her, and compliments her as the "prettiest correspondent". He describes his
guard duty and his Regiment (which is now complete, including the band): its
drills, Parade and current position two miles from Charleston. He will probably
come with Hal to visit her on furlough, as she requests, but is unsure when that
will be. He disavows any deep love for Dora; asks to be remembered to Laurie,
whose advice he recalls; offers Addie a kiss (but then marks this out); and
sends respects from Seth and Will.
