Dear Mother~ I pray this finds you well and Father is comfortable. I am sad to say I will not be returning home as thought. Knowing my girls are there with you to help with Father brings me some comfort. The good men of the 20th will be moving out soon. Rumor has it that the enemy may be closer than anticipated and it really isn't a proper place for a lady. The Maine boys may be a rag tag bunch of farm boys, but I have grown rather fond of them. I shall remain safely behind and assist with a detachment in Washington. Perhaps this dreadful war will be over soon and I may return home, but as you know, my calling is here. I find comfort in thinking that when my poor Samuel was lying in his final moments, there was someone for him and that he was not alone. Know that I am well and thinking of you.
All my love, Christabell
