Letter to Sullivan Ballou

My very dear Sullivan,
Sullivan my love, the war is breaking us apart. Fighting for your county is an honer but i can not live without you. I will miss you until the day you are next to me.  I would always love you, please return home safe. My love to you is more than I can explain. The moment I shall see you again, is the day im waiting for. We shall meet again after the war is done. Return to your home and family, who are waiting for you. Do not think of the worst, think about coming both to your family and returning to us. I shall never be with any other man after you. You and our son is the reason that I am alive, the memories that we had together, shall never be forgotten. I believe one day we shall meet again, and forget the tragedy in our life and relive the great moments. I am waiting for you to return to our home and see our child growing up.  Sullivan, I love so dearly and shall be in love with you my whole life on earth and heaven.Do not give up hope, if you have something to live for, you will live.

Love,
Sarah
