Raft

Dear Emily and Jezebelle,

In this war, I have seen many things I wish I haven't seen. Seeing the spilled blood of Americans caused me to see war in a different way.  Even though I don't wanna fight this war, it's giving us an opportunity to be free. If I go home now, escaping the south would've been for nothing. The conditions of sleeping are horrible. It's cold and we shiver at night. I can't wait to come home to the loving embrace of my family.

Love, Charles
