Wheelock G. Veazey to Julia A. Veazey
Primary tabs
I just rec’d yr letter fr [N.C.] Wish my angel I was there with
you. I hope you will have a good time but please remember your own husbands
likes & dislikes. You know how somebody undertook to flirt there once &
how serious it became so you must be careful & not try the experiment again.
What should I do without you & all your love & devotion. I live on these
things & should die without them. You ought to remember that I made no
exception when I asked you to be familiar with no gentlemen, but perhaps you can
remember some exceptions & that is why I get moody & feel badly
sometimes. You know Mrs. A. dont think many things improper for a married lady
to do, that you husband does, & you know my pet whom you
promised to obey before so many witnesses. I worship you & long for the day
when I can go home to live with you all the time. I have thought more about it
since I came back, & would be glad to get out of this business as soon as I
can be spared, but my angel you would not own me till this accursed war is over
unless I was here, & I am proud of your for your patriotism & sacrifice.
I do think it splendid to be with you & have you do so many things for me
contin- ually. I have got to have a recitation of the officers now & have
got to go on picquet to-morrow be out all day & night. I cant stop to write
much but that. I must write tho’ a short letter. I wrote to you at n. C.
yesterday. Remember me to Mrs. A. & tell her I will write with yr permission
if I can get time I am pretty busy doing nothing now
[adieu]
Yr own fond & faithful husband.
