My dearest Cynd.
I got [Zetty?] to write to you as
soon as she reached here, & you have
of course received her letter, & also
Lee's - As soon as Jack came up from
Glo'ster & told us of you & your
sad loss, I determined that I wd
write to you at an early day, for
deeply[underscored] do I feel for & with you
Cynd - I know full well your heart
is full of sorrow, & I only wish I
could say some word of comfort
to you! I can but commend you
in my poor prayers to Him, who
does not willingly afflict his children
but intends all his chastisements in
Mercy & loving-kindness. This is
[2]
hard to realize in our first moments
of bereavement, but He softens
his trials, & pours balm into the
wound, & when we can say - "I
will trust in Him, though He
slay me" - we indeed have peace [underscored]
in believing. May this be your
frame of mind my dear Sister,
is my earnest prayer.
I have felt weak & dispirited
& every thing is an exertion to me,
but have had to rouse myself on
account of my Husband: who
has been confined to his bed, nearly
ever time he came here. As soon
as I could sit up, I came into
his room, which adjoins mine,
for several hours of each day,
as it was a great comfort for me
to be with him, as I have only
[3]
seen him for a few days at a time
since the first of March - &
although he had a fever, & I could
not leave my chair he could talk
some - You have your good Husband
with you, & I know it is a source
of real comfort for you now.[underscored] I
think a great deal about you, &
hope you will get Bland to write & let
us know how you get along - I
told [Dr?] to tell you how much I liked
Aunt Charlotte, & I asked her to call
& see you when she got to Town -
I could not desire a better or more
efficient nurse for myself - & I
hope if you have her, you may like
her as much as I did - Let me know
whether you get her - I trust you will
have a successful time, & soon have
a little [solacer?] to heal your wound
[4]
I feel too much for Aunt Lucy, as she
loved our little angel as her own child,
& I dread her hearing of our loss while
alone - I trust she will be able to leave
Wmsburg, & come to us as she should
do so, as soon as possible - I am
afraid of her getting sick there by
herself - Cousin [?] has made
up her mind to take [Zetty?] I believe,
though we have not heard definitely[underscored]
from her on the subject - [Bray?] is
there now, & I think [Z_?] will go, as
soon as she gets her [?] in order.
Do you board in Richd [?] [?]? &
can't you come & see us awhile after you
are through yr troubles - [J_?] Page has
gone to Lynchburg - & Dr. C_ will be in
Richd as soon as he is well enough. He
hopes to be in Town for the winter, &
I shall again be separated from him.
Give best love to your Dr. & also Bland.
She boards at [Cafn In's?] I believe -
The Girls & [Ran?] would send love, but do
not know of my writing, but my Dr. does,
& desires his most cordially - God bless you
Yours F. T. Carmichael
[Marginalia Page 1]
Zetty sends love & says
she will write soon -
did Jack deliver the little
package?
