My Dear Sammy,
Our first couple of battles were rough but we didn't lose anyone. The images of the dirt turning red and the sound of bullets and explosions will stick with me forever. Opal's excitement has calmed down, much to the relief of the rest of us, though she remains a staunch Loyalist. The mood of our group has also become lighter, despite the situation we are in. Minnie is a big part of that, she is always willing to pick our spirits up. I look forward to meeting Albert's tiny friend. I imagine she could tell me of all the adventures they have.
I miss you two dearly. Sometimes I wake up forgetting where I am, and I am saddened over the loss of your smiles. Rosanne talks with me in those mornings, I think she feels the same pain, as we talk almost exclusively about our children. She worries about her husband having to deal with the twins alone. Apparently, they can be rambunctious and they do not live close to any relatives. She tries convincing her husband to visit his parents while she is away, but he does not seem willing to leave. The last letter she received spoke of nothing but good news, but she still worries. Her worries remind me of how grateful I am that Albert is a manageable child.
Forever Yours,
Angeline
