Contents:	I have a strange feeling that someday I shall meet this man -- Last night I gazed long upon our beauteous emblem, the star of destiny -- My mind fixes itself on the bright hour in which we first met and loved -- The gay voice of his wife, mingling tones of her harp and piano, was heard -- She would have graced the household of any man, be he president or prince -- Alas, what has always been my decision when my own happiness or the good of the country was to be sacrificed? -- He has decided [I] must be operated on ... I hope to sit down to it like a soldier -- I am where it is said the world is, and yet I am far from all that constitutes my world on earth -- Last night as I came home ... I saw our "Star" -- I am gratified to see that you are homesick and weary of public life -- If his affection had been equal to mine, could he have left me? -- There is everywhere a void which nothing can fill, but the presence of my darling husband -- Do you know I am more in love with you than I ever was in my life? -- In the still watches of the night, I hear him agonizing in prayer for our distracted country -- I have no spirit to write ... on account of my deep affliction from my dear boy being sent to Mississippi -- When the great sorrow first fell ... I could not see how [to] guide my little flock through the dreary wilderness -- [She was a woman] of character, culture, and staunch devotion ... [who] greatly influenced Sam Houston and the course of Texas history.
Responsibility:	by Madge Thornall Roberts ; foreword by Randolph B. Campbell.
