Memphis, October 8,
1863.
Oh! that poor Willy could have lived to take all that was
good of me in name, character and standing, and learn to avoid all that is
captious, eccentric or wrong. But I do not forget that we have other children
worthy of my deepest love. I would not have one different from what they are.
