My Dearest Leonard,

The Confederate generals have turned on themselves. With the chaos and infighting, my hope is that the Union is preparing a daring attack to stabilise the country. This is my wish.

Keep us in your thoughts.

My Dearest Martha

The enemy has taken over and is attacking our country.

My people are in disarray and shock.

We are calling up the troops. There is morale when we talk.

This aggression will not stand.

We are going to need a lot of snacks going forth.

Have courage.

I've just posted a new recording of a Civil War letter, this one from early in the war just days after the first martyr of the war, Elmer Ellsworth had been killed.
