To the same. 1870.
Mrs. J--, the author of Linda, spent a couple of nights here a few weeks ago. She told me one little anecdote which reminded me of the Puritan soldiers of old. She said that one day, during the war, she was gathering vegetables in the garden of the hospital where she was nursing the wounded.
A soldier passed by, and seeing some roses in bloom he said, Auntie, will you give me a rose?
Mrs. J — was sensitive about being called Auntie, that being the universal way of addressing middle-aged slaves.
So she answered, I will give yon some roses with all my heart, for I am always willing to give anything to a soldier of the United States.
But I am not your auntie; your mother was not my sister.
Was n't she, though?
rejoined the soldier.
You'd better ask General Christ about that.
He was a great general, and I guess he would say that your mother was my mother's sister.
My mother is a good woman.
If you knew her, you would love her.
Beautiful, was it no
