About the book
As a bride, Elizabeth Blair Lee (1818-1906) had promised to write a letter to her naval officer husband, Samuel Phillips Lee, every day they were apart. She kept her promise, and Wartime Washington shines with a choice sampling of the hundreds of letters she penned to him during America's darkest hour. - Jacket flap.
First sentence: IN THE FINAL MONTHS OF 1860, as the nation teetered on the brink of civil war, Secretary of the Navy Isaac Toucey ordered Comdr.S. P. Lee to join the East India Squadron in the China Sea.
