Johnston Civil War LetterDescription
Letter written by John S. Johnston to Friend Mattie, May 26, 1863 from German Town, Tenn.
Poem included:
"If each one's eternal care
was written on his brow
how many would our pity share
That has our envy now.
That fatal secret, if revealed,
That on each aching breast,
T'would only show, that when concealed,
His lot appears the best."
