[draft] No 6 I am at a loss whether to write you or not, four posts have passed without a line from you, and general Lincoln, who came immediately from your quarters brought no token of remembrance, this is what I am so unused to, that I scarce know how to behave under it, if it is meant to mortify it has answered the purpose admirably. I wrote on Thursday last, and forwarded my letter by Colo Lewis, am very anxious for an answer that I may know how to proceed, expect his return on Teusday next. We hear nothing of the movements of the Army, and poor I am constantly Sick with anxiety, oh horrid war, how hast thou blasted the fairest prospect of happiness, robbed of parents, of Sisters, & Brother, thou art depriving me, of the Society of my husband: who alone could repair the loss. But I am too low spirited to write, and lest I should infect you will conclude May the best of heavens blessings be yours Mr Duers 12th August LK
