To Whom It May Concern,
I am writing in hopes that you or someone may have information about Major Jasper Whitlock. The last I heard, he was near the Tennessee border but moving closer to Atlanta. I haven't heard from him in almost three months, and I fear he may have been wounded when General Sherman took Atlanta.
I have scoured the lists of wounded and dead, and fortunately his name has yet to appear. I know he would have written if he was able, but I'm to the point of desperation. If you have any information at all, could you please pass it along? I am currently in Savannah with family, but our home was in Atlanta. If you come into contact with Major Whitlock or someone who knows of his whereabouts, could you please pass him the enclosed letter?
Sincerely,
Miss Alice Brandon

My darling Jasper,
I long to hear your voice, to see your face, to have any bit of news about you. I know you are out there; I can feel it, but I'm desperate and anxious for word of your safety.
We're in Savannah with Mama's family. In my last letter, which you may not have gotten, I told of how our house and land was burned and confiscated. Mama, Jane, and I are safe for now. Please let me know you are alright.
I love you, Jasper.
Waiting,
Your Alice
