Homeland (2009)
“Poole, Enclosed are the letters you’ve been writing to my sister. I’m sorry to say she took her own life last October. May God damn you and every other Yankee to the Hell you deserve, for eternity.
—J.B.
Cora Poole, The White HouseWashingtonToSusanna Ashford [not sent] FRIDAY, APRIL 13, 1866NIGHT Dearest Susanna, Back during the War—I don’t really remember when—I remember asking you, what is this capacity of the human heart, to sustain the flame of hope for years, without visible fuel. You were... there—I knew you were there—and that sustained me, during the worst days I have known. I do not know how I would have survived them, without your laughter. As I wrote to you then—to the Pretend-Susanna who would invariably get my letters the day after they were written—so I write to you now. I hope you’ll get this one.
Not to say, Forgive me, for the anger that kept me silent for those months—for you must have done what you did very shortly after you sent me that last letter, and you did not know how many months it took, for my anger to run its course.MoreLess
