After his death a letter...:D I think it's cold. After his death a letter had to be sent home from the army and another letter had to be sent back to the army. That's 2 letters in 19 days in 1862. I'm sure he was desensitized though, as well. <br /><br />Road trip.Stephanie Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13324411278252488163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7163330007385367610.post-4577908081039294392012-08-24T22:07:22.055-04:002012-08-24T22:07:22.055-04:00I'm not sure I'd call the letter cold. If...I'm not sure I'd call the letter cold. If this was written a time later, he may have had time to process his feelings and grieve. He mentioned that the time he spent by the grave was solemn. Another thought I had was that perhaps being through "six or seven battles," perhaps he was a bit desensitized to death.<br /><br />I think that if I were to be in the area, the museum would be something I'd like to check out. I'd certainly read up on the family first. It would make a pretty cool trip. :)Andyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03191168684132845378noreply@blogger.com
