My Darling Susan:
I have precious little time to write to you, as I must go
and lay out the plans for tomorrow to my brigadier generals in a moment. They
have given me a brigade for my actions in the battle last week, my love.
I do not expect you to understand me any more than you did
when I left you weeping last Spring, but my cowardice is what is driving me, and
what will bring me back home.
Death I’m afraid of, but letting down my men scares me more.
Colonel George McNeal
Confederate Army Of Mobile
