Letter Sixteen: Consultation with the General.


My Love,

            Do not worry yourself with the business of the fields; Benjamin should be taking care of that. And I am appalled that you were dancing in the servant’s quarters barefoot. What do you believe the Russell’s will think of you and our family? Be sure not to imbibe anymore until my return. I also cannot believe that my young Seymour was smoking the family tobacco the other day. Why, I’m sure it was so poorly rolled that it was an offense to our fine product. I haven’t smoked decent tobacco since I’ve been here. Speaking of opiates, I have been regularly taking my medicine and I do say that my dreams have only gotten more vivid! I would go into detail of a few but it appears that the General needs to consult with me regarding our next move. I will write soon my love!

Fighting hard for my darling Muff,
Bentley
