Letter written by an unknown Vermont soldier, to his possible sweetheart Mary Cory of Suffolk, VT. The soldier tells Mary that all was well, but that he was sad that she “could not think that I was the one for you.” He writes that he will always be there for her as a friend, and hopes that her rejection was not because she has found someone else. He mentions working on the fort that day.
