My Love,
As I sit here with pen and paper in front of me, I find myself wishing it were you instead. How I miss your strong arms around me, and the touch of your tender lips upon my neck. I know that you must do your duty, as are all of our young men. But, I fear for you, and miss you ever so much. I still can see you sitting in your favorite chair, smoking your pipe, and reading your favorite book by the fireplace. How I miss the scent of you. They say the war will end soon, and our boys will be coming home. I hope and pray for that day to come soon. I wonder if our country will ever be the same again after this terrible war between the states. I find myself looking into the eyes of our children, and I can see you there. I know I will always have a piece of you here with me, through them. I am trying to cheer you with my words, but I find I am only telling you how I miss you, and wishing you were here. I hope you don’t think me selfish, but I do wish you were here with me instead of being so far away from me. Please remember that I still look up at the moon and stars every night, and wish you good night like we said we would. Remember I love you, and my heart is always with you.
Your loving Wife
