Abstract:
Upset by delays in the mail which have caused her letters to not reach Abraham before he marched for Plattsburg. Recently moved to Cambridge. Will not lie and say she is happy, but refuses to "tell you how miserable I am at intervals least it should clogg your military ardor." Hopeful for a cessation of hostilities, at least for the winter. "It seems as if heaven had really frowned upon our ill-fated country ever since the Declaration of this ill-managed war." Family news, everyone anxious about him. Addressed to Major Abraham Eustis, Plattsburg. See also D. S. Townsend ALS to Abr[aha]m Eustis, August 29, 1820, located in the Michigan Collection.
