Letter from Charles N. Tenney to Adelaide E. Case
The first day of a New Year and Charles bids Adelaide a Happy New Year. Charles asks for two
wishes for the New Year, a letter form Adelaide and Hal's recovery from his illness and laments
the lack of letters from Adelaide. He then describes a night on picket and closes by wishing
all a good New Year. A second letter on the same day sees Charles in higher spirits, his two
wishes for the day being fulfilled, a letter from Adelaide and Hal's recovery. Charles is moved
to describe that he has given up the domestic evils of drink, tobacco and cards and thanks
Adelaide for her kindness in writing to him.
