My husband left home, Im nervous about working the farm without him, even with the hired farm girl.

we agreed to pay her $1.25 a day plus room and board

After the first day, things were going smoothly, I think the farm will be ok

April 15, 1861<br/>President Lincoln called for 75,000 volunteers to defend Fort Sumpter from the rebels firing. 

My husband heard about the shots fired at Fort Sumpter and was outraged. My husband, John, wanted to immedietly join, but I wouldnt be able to take care of our farm all by myself.

I want to talk him out of it but he was so upset, I want to be supportive, but we cant

I tell him that I cant afford to work the farm alone, so we hire a farm girl to help out
