The Battle of Bull Run

This battle has signaled a longer war than what we had hoped for. However, we must remain strong and support the Union as she fights against slavery. Although we lost today's battle, with troops that are better prepared, we can quickly end the rebellion of the South. While our soldiers do their part on the battlefield, I am currently working with my seamstress and close friend, Elizabeth Keckley, a former slave, to raise funds for the Contraband Relief Association.

    I wish what you say is true Mrs. Lincoln but I fear this war will be longer than we had originally anticipated. The Union thanks and praises you for the support you are providing her with. I wish the best and I am confident that your husband will lead us through this into a new era.

    I do agree with you Mrs. Lincoln that the capability of our military leaders must be increased if we are to succesfully conquer the Confederates.
