General Lee's Horse - Life on the Battlefield

Hey! Today our class is working on a RAFT Civil War Letter.

Dear General Lee,

Today is April 9th, 1865, which marks the last day of the war. Life on the battle field surely hasn't been easy, but I will continue to be with the South. With you as my rider, I have protected you, and kept you safe. The sounds around me boomed like falling mountains, but I learned to block them out and keep persisting. I must say, watching you lead the South has been a great experience. Despite the fallen soldiers and gore on the battlefield, I have enjoyed prancing around with you as orders are barked out. I have definitely learned that together we make a great team, and I wouldn't be the same without you.
We have seen a great deal, and witnessed a few courageous wins. I do miss my lady friend, Travelerella, but luckily we will be reunited soon. Perhaps my favorite battle we fought was the First Battle of Lexington, which truly set the tone for the war. With a fresh win, I happily galloped to where you led me. I will miss being your main homie, and I hope that you will take me out often so we can remain close. A bond like ours is irreplaceable, please don't leave me in the barn forever.
I can't thank you enough for the experiences we both have endured, and I hope to go on another journey with you another time.
