Letter to Sarah Ballou, today 1861
"Sarah, my love for you is deathless, it seems to bind me to you with mighty cables that nothing but Omnipotence could break; and yet my love of Country comes over me like a strong wind and bears me irresistibly on with all these chains to the battlefield."https://americanliterature.com/author/sullivan-ballou/letter/letter-to-sarah-ballou
