To ANNIE ADAMS FIELDS
December 23, [1864?], Wheeling
My dear Annie
I send you the Christmas greetings with a warmth of meaning—new and deeper to me than ever before, I think.
The past year has come to us so bright with blessing—with the mark of His…

To JAMES T. FIELDS May 10, [1861], Wheeling
Mr. Fields
I am sorry. I thank you for the kindness with which you veil the disappointment.[1] Whatever holier meaning life or music has for me, has reached me through the ‘pathetic minor’ – I fear that I…
1862-08-04, James T. Fields & Annie Adams Fields
To JAMES T. FIELDS and ANNIE ADAMS FIELDS August 4, [1862], Wheeling
I don’t know which to write to. I cannot separate you, and I do want a good talk to both of you this tropical morning. Such a long time since we looked out on the bay from that…
1863-12-late, Annie Adams Fields
To ANNIE ADAMS FIELDS [c. December 1863], Philadelphia
Dear Annie,

To ANNIE ADAMS FIELDS July 27, [1863], Philadelphia

To JAMES T. FIELDS October 20, [1862], Wheeling
My dear friend

I received Annie’s letter the other day, it must have crossed mine. I am so…

To JAMES T. FIELDS September 4, [1862], Wheeling
Mr. Fields
I am ashamed—but I quite forgot that I had not acknowledged the receipt of the check for Blind Tom.[1] Certainly, call it anything you like. You are immaculate in titles—only keep Mr. George…
1862-06-27, James T. Fields
To JAMES T. FIELDS June 27, [1862], New York City
My dear Mr. Fields
I think this will do. I would call it M.H. & other stories as you propose— The motto for Margret will do for all.[1]
I am having a very good time in New York. Mrs. Fremont[2] is…

Annie Adams Fields
To ANNIE ADAMS FIELDSOctober 25, 1862, Wheeling
Dear Annie
I wrote to you after you left home and meant to sit down and have a long talk with you, but a young lady friend dropped in on me—one of those exigeant people who absorb every moment—you…

Annie Adams Fields
To ANNIE ADAMS FIELDSOctober 9, [1862], Wheeling
My dear Annie
I wonder if you think western savages are ungrateful. I meant to answer your letter very soon, but since then, my sister and mother[1] have been ill, and I, tired out, most of the time in…
