We are Southern ourselves in all save this war, and, although our dear little town is divided in feeling, I have received nothing but kindness from those on the other side.

Dr.Russell often asks about you.

He says you were the best Latin scholar in the Academy, and he expects you to have a great future, as a learned man, after the war.

He speaks oftenest of you and Harry Kenton, and I believe that you two were his favorite pupils.
