The Daily Dispatch: March 31, 1864., [Electronic resource], Love Undiminished by Amputation. (search)

Love Undiminished by Amputation. --The following is an old story, but has the merit of being true as well as apropos to the times: Commodore Barelay, who fought the battle of Lake Erie against Perry, was engaged to be married to a fine English girl. At Trafalgar, with Nelson, he had lost an arm. At Lake Erie he lost a leg. On returning to England, feeling his condition very acutely, he sent a friend to his betrothed to tell her that, under the circumstances in which he found himself, he considered her released from all engagements to him. The lady heard the message, then said to the friend: "Edward thinks I may wish our engagement to be broken because of his misfortunes, does he? Tell him that if he only brings back to England body enough to hold the soul he carried away with him, I'll marry him."
