I just wanted to note that in the digital collections, this letter is linked and titled as "Letter from James G. Raby to his sweetheart," when it is actually the other way around. Also if anyone has trouble reading the cursive, I have typed up as much of this as I could read and am willing to send copies of the document if you reach out.
