Short Description:
"My Dearest Son, You know mother wants to be with her poor wounded soldier boy, I know I should have made at least an attempt to get to you if you had not begged me not. I feel so idle, so useless here at home, knowing how useful I could be to you and how you would love to have dear Mother to nurse you. . . ." The letter says how the son of a man was forced to fight in the war, and leave his family behind. There are also many other soldiers who were forced, or some people decided to join one side the states, and the other family member decided to join the other side, which usually lead to them separating. |
