Dear Family,
It is I, Cornelius Wilkerson, your father and husband. I know times are tough with me gone to war, but this war is vital. I don't think I couldn't ever go back to being somebody's property again. We must fight for our freedom and we cannot give up now. Although I believe we have a very strong army here in the Union, I fear I may be captured and sold back into slavery. I promise will return to you as a free man.
Salutations Family,
Cornelius
We all miss you! Hope you enjoy Canada!
