My mind was made up at the first time there was any talk of war, and you had about as much responsibility for my going as some little sparrow or something.

Of course I don't mean I didn't pay any attention to the different things you said, because I always did, and I used to worry over it because I was afraid some day it would get you in trouble, and I'm mighty glad you've cut it out.

That's right; you be a regular girl now.

You always were one, and I knew it all right.

I'm not as scared to write to you as I was to talk to you, so I guess you know I was mighty tickled to get your letter.
