COOSAWHATCHIE, S. C,
December 22, 1861.
I shall think of you on that holy day more intensely than
usual, and shall pray to the great God of Heaven to shower His blessings upon
you in this world and to unite you all in His courts in the world to come. With
a grateful heart I thank Him for his preservation of you thus far, and trust to
His mercy and kindness for the future. O, that I were more worthy and more
thankful for all that He has done and continues to do for me!
