CAMP PIERPONT, VA., December
31, 1861.
Do you know, to-day is our wedding-day and my birthday.
Twenty-one years ago we pledged our faith to each other, and I doubt if any
other couple live who, with all the ups and downs of life, have had more
happiness with each other than you and I. I trust a merciful Providence will
spare us both to celebrate yet many returns of the day, and that we shall see
our children advancing in life prosperously and happily.
