Joseph my dearest,
How I pray these words find you my love,
and one of us lives to find the other.
all of Columbia is burning
out into the country they have come.
I have set fire to our home myself
poisoned the smoke house meat.
sit the horses loose, save yours.
dressed in breeches and boots
out into Saluda I ride to the shack
leaving this letter where
in a place you may find it
know that your babe and I are safe.
Joseph my hands shake, my heart is troubled
as half a person I am with out you.
husband I will protect this babe of ours
or die from the trying.
Come for me when duty is done.
I pray for your wellness
to touch your face again.
Forever my love forever.
Sara
