Connor: Civil War Journal

My nephew has just left the house to go to war.  I sent him a letter a few hours ago, I miss him so.  My husband, Michael, is still working at the forge.  Just before Walter left Michael gave him a sword to use.  I am worried that he might get hurt or worse, but I admire his courage.  He will free the slaves even if he has to die for it.  I pray to god every few hours that he is okay and still alive.  If he were to die I don't know what we'd do.  I hope they have good healthcare in the union army.
