Diary of Josephine Shaw Lowell: May 16, 1862

Yesterday a letter from Rob for Father, saying he had made up his mind to enter the regular army and asking him to do all in his power to get him a commission. I should be very sorry if I didn't know that Rob knows what he's about and wouldn't undertake such a step without thought. He says he thinks the war is to be a long one.
