Major Thomas J. Jackson to Mary Anna Morrison Jackson, February 19, 1861

February 19, 1861.

My darling pet, your husband feels a loneliness for which he can hardly account, but he knows if his darling were here he wouldn't feel thus. I have been busy, but still the feeling exists. I follow you in mind and heart, and think of you at the different points of your route.
