Dear Samuel,
Emma and I are worried and have been anxious to know how you have been doing, we miss you so much. I began a job at the United States Sanitary Commission as a nurse. The other day, I aided a man who had been shot in shoulder by a confederate. I came to find out that it was Henry Buford. It aches my heart to have been so close to someone and not even realize whom it was. I'm not sure if you know about his injury but I will keep you updated on how he is doing. He has not awoken since his injury. Although, the best trained nurses are trying to do the best they can. I've met a nice woman from a past job I took at the market, named Clarissa. Her husband is in the war as well. She has two boys, Matthew and Thomas who Emma enjoy being around. Clarissa has been there through a lot with me. Possibly, you may know her husband, I never caught his name though. I cannot wait until the day you come home. I constantly try to remember and hold on to the memories we have. I miss you very much. Please write back to me as soon as you can, I hope you are alright. Emma and I have been worrying about you deeply and are anxious to hear from you soon.
Love, Annabelle and Emma
