Continuing with this lengthy letter from Benjamin Blackford from October 5, 1863:
"I think I have the luck of falling in love with pretty girls and only wonder I did not meet some at Fort Fisher. The more I see of N.C. & the N.Cians the less I see to admire, save indeed the young lady mentioned above, and her parents are full blooded Yankees.
The people are unsound. They are contemptable, they howl, and whine and cry for peace on any terms & reconstruction not as a matter of original principle for they are perfect fire...."
Poor Mr. Blackford Must Have Been Turned Down By the Young Lady? --Old B-R'er
