Warriors of Loving
My Dearest Audrella, I thank you for the cloves you had enclosed in your last missive. That permitted me great joy in ingesting the aromas of such spices. Now is the time where I must depart from happy feelings. The aggressors have shown themselves to be quite despicable in their deportment. Some of the Continental Army have shown themselves to be rather hostile, too. They don’t salute me as a colonel, the white men. They snicker and chortle every time I come into view. My men, however, salute me and say good morning or any other time of day and “Colonel Redd.” They can take my admonishments. They receive commands and carry out orders with the strictest discipline.

Revolutionary Love
My Love, How bittersweet it is to pick up the pen. I rejoice that we have this small thread to keep us together, but it is a very thin thread indeed. I miss you dearly, and wish you were here for the wonderful news. Our son is walking! He, on his unsteady little feet, held my hand and we walked down the lane to watch the regiments pass. Are you not the proudest papa? My heart is full to bursting as I watch him grow. His sisters too are well and are always moving, it is a fight for them to sit still. If they were to run to the farthest snow drifts of the north to the hottest islands of the south and back again, they would still have the breath to beg me for sweets after supper. At the very least they sleep throughout the night again. The steady gunfire over the past months has kept them up. But even restless nights have not slowed the pace of their chatter.

A Love Beyond Time
Paris, March 3, 1762 My Dearest Éléonore, As I sit here this evening, the flickering light of a solitary candle is my only companion. It casts long shadows on the walls, and it is in this quiet solitude that I take up my pen. My heart, full of yearning, compels me to write to you, my beloved, for your absence is a burden too heavy for me to bear in silence. Each pulse of my heart echoes with your name, each breath I take seems to call out for the warmth of your presence. How I long for the gentle touch of your hand upon mine, to hear the sweet melody of your voice that always soothes my troubled soul. Oh, how I ache for the softness of your embrace, a comfort I once knew so well.
