RE: American Civil War Letters – January 27, 1864 – Tools, a Dress, Hopes for Eternity, and First-Rate Sledding
At first its all technical...then the dress thing and I'm thinking why would she even write such a thing...and then she melts my heart. It is like 3 people in one person. :)
I know - she packs a lot of information into each letter. She has to be a farm manager, a mother, and a wife, and she has to send all this knowing her husband may not read it for a week or more. In the next letter (posting tomorrow) she mentions that she's new to writing. I hadn't considered the fact that this was the first time she'd have carried on a correspondence like this. I think she's doing an amazing job, considering she hasn't really written much before.
