Colonel Charles Russell Lowell to Josephine Shaw Lowell, Sunday Morning, August 14, 1864 – 7 A. M.

Sunday Morning, 7 A. M.

Oh, you mustn't let yourself or your friends talk about my leaving the army, — we are bound, if any one is, to do our all to see the war well finished, for without the war, I dare say we mightn't have come together — and then I'm sure I shouldn't have cared so about leaving the army.
