My dearest Julia,
Greetings from Washington D.C., the capital of the federals. How is Illinois? I thought you would find it funny that my general, George McClellan, is called Little Mac by me and the other Union soldiers. He is very youthful and attended the United States Military Academy, like I did. He does seem somewhat ignorant though, and he wants slavery to be constitutional. I sometimes question his leadership skills. The Battle of Bull Run took place quite close to where I am now, and it reminded me that this war is going to be tough. The other soldiers believe I have good character, and I try my best everyday to support my country. I wish you were here with me. You're so loyal, and you always support me, and I wish you could encourage me as you always do. You would enjoy the people here. They believe that slavery is wrong, along with you and me. Give all the children my love. Tell Fred and Buck that I'm thankful for their leadership, and remind them that they can use words to solve their problems. Tell Nellie that she would love learning to cook from all the wonderful women at our camp sights. And lastly, tell Jesse that he is the youngest, but also the strongest, and I love him so much. I am fighting for our country, but most of all for you, and I hope that you are safe even though you are close to some of the border and rebel states. Please keep in touch.
            All my love,
                  Ulysses Grant
