Narrated by Descendants of the African Diaspora. Letters used were available in the public domain. My Black History Month gift to you, this is only the beginning. Enjoy.
.............................................................
The following are letters between Lewis H. Douglass and H. Amelia Loguen whom he later married. He was a son of Frederick Douglass, and she the daughter of Bishop J. W. Loguen, a distinguished churchman who became a bishop of the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church.
These letters and more were exchanged as he fought in the American Civil War (1861-1865), to in his words, “... aid in the glorious work to the overthrow a system of cruelty and tyranny, bursting loose those chains which keeps the husbands, wives, children, lovers and friends, of millions asunder.”

Link to Letter 1: Amelia
“My Dear Lewis: “Pardon my negligence in allowing so many weeks to pass away without writing and accept this tardy letter. Your note of Apr. 8, has acted as a reminder, and I with pleasure write.”
My Own Dear Amelia: How can I express the pleasure it affords me to receive a letter written by the hand of her I love?... I may say that your letter brought you more fully before my sight if possible, and in that way added an increased pleasantness to my thoughts and dreams of you.
Men and women talk of Love, can any one describe it?”
