My dearest wife, I don't know when I shall return from my work in the confederate army but soon I hope we will come together again. May we be blessed that I am still alive to write this letter and we have a good general and by god if he is still alive we will sure to be alive.

ONLY A SOLDIER'S GRAVE
By S.A. Jones

Only a soldier's grave! Pass by,
For soldiers, like other mortals, die.
Parents had he -- they are far away;
No sister weeps o'er the soldier's clay;
No brother comes, with tearful eye;
It's only a soldier's grave -- pass by.

True, he was loving, and young, and brave,
Though no glowing epitaph honors his grave;
No proud recital of virtues known,
Of griefs endured, or triumphs won;
No tablet of marble, or obelisk high; --
Only a soldier's grave: -- pass by.

Yet bravely he wielded his sword in fight,
And he gave his life in the cause of right!
When his hope was high, and his youthful dream
As warm as the sunlight on yonder stream;
His heart unvexed by sorrow or sigh; --
Yet, 'tis only a soldier's grave: - pass by.

Yet, we should mark it -- the soldier's grave,
Some one may seek him in hope to save!
Some of the dear ones, far away,
Would bear him home to his native clay:
'Twere sad, indeed, should they wander nigh,
Find not the hillock, and pass him by.

Months and months has pasted I fear the worst that the war will continue and we'll live our lives faster than the war can end. I've been receiving your letters months after you're sending it. Hope the union will make a mistake and the Confederates will get a chance to attack. We're having a gathering about the plans of attack hope we will come up with a good plan.
