Here are the other things I have read...as far as I can remember and I think there are more that I am forgetting.
A letter from a young girl named Lizzie to her friend Mary. They are both in the Confederate states (which is interesting because everything i read was from the Union states) and there were some areas where Lizzie talks about "those rediculous Yankees were driven back" and such... Most of the letter was of silly teen gossip which is not up to Lost Voices standards....i didn't include it
another letter from a young man (a soldier) responding to a young woman's introductory letter. Apparently he had placed a false advertisement in the classifieds section of "Lonely hearts" magazine and he had gotten a response. In the letter he expresses his excitement and confesses he had advertised his features incorrectly---made himself more attractive. He seems like a very nice guy who likes his female companions to laugh out loud and enjoy life as well as express themselves. Pretty progressive for that time, don't you think? I liked this one!
ummm.... can't remember anymore that I've read...though there are more...hmmm....shoot. Blogger shouldn't have deleted my original posting. oh well.
