A mourning tale of love and distant fame in verse
An intense lyrical meditation on love’s joy and sorrow, rival visions of ambition, and a soldier’s life. The speaker recalls tender memories, the beloved’s eyes, a long kiss, and dreams of fame, while confronting love’s mournful clarity. A separate note details a grim medical oddity and a Civil War company roster.

Regimental letter and home front sketches from 1863
A soldier’s furlough tale near New Orleans describes Camp 13th Army Corps under General Washburne, warnings about rebels, and calls for action. It blends a family scene with women left to cope, a widow’s poverty, and Ariel King’s hair sale to aid a dying soldier, ending in a proposal of renewed devotion.
