Midnight
I know you are stronger and have less of the consumptive taint about you than I , but I am afraid . You would have worked for me when I was in college , and I have worked only for you , since that time . All that I have saved -- and I have saved all I could , for I knew that my time was not long -- is yours . I have some money on deposit , some bonds , and a few articles of personal property -- among the latter , Midnight . All these are yours . It will leave you comfortable for a time at least . Now , dear , promise that I shall be buried and remain in the cemetery the Government is making for the soldiers who fell in those last battles .
