My precious husband-
I will go to Hanover and wait there
until I hear from you again, and I do trust I may be permitted to come back to
you again in a few days. I am much disappointed at not seeing you again, but I
commend you, my precious darling, to the merciful keeping of the God of battles,
and do pray most earnestly for the success of our army this day. Oh! that our
Heavenly Father may preserve and guide and bless you, is my most earnest
prayer.
I
leave the shirt and socks for you
Your devoted little wife.
