"But I still live in hope of seeing you arrive at home
crowned with laurels of victory And to remain at home with me and your
children until death shall seperate us--If I never should be blessed with
the opportunity of seeing [you] again in this world, I hope to meet you
where we will have Heaven for our mansion, angels for our companions and
parting of friends will be no more." Letters of William C. Combs and his wife Celina Wesley Combs
