An original letter from my Great Great Grandfather who served in the Civil War. My dad painstakingly deciphered his letter. Below is also a letter I would write to Thomas.
Wow! This is amazing. So interesting to read and I love how you followed up with your thoughts and the creative way you did it. Thank you Dia for sharing this piece of history. 🤗❤️
Oh, Dia, thanks for sharing this letter with us. It’s amazing how much you can learn about a person just from reading a letter. In the last paragraph, when he said he was prepared to die, it made me realize how brave and courageous these men were. He had a beautiful soul. The letter you wrote was very heartwarming. 🙏❤️
