Sullivan Ballou was a lawyer and politician who would later serve in the Union army during the Civil War. He is perhaps best known for the eloquent and beautiful letter he wrote his wife, prior to his death at the Battle of Bull Run. The letter describes in detail the pull between his deep love for her, and his sense of duty to his country. Please take a moment to listen to his letter read aloud here, and have some tissues ready. You can also read the letter in full here, but listening to it read aloud is vastly superior: bit.ly/1ChdUyX
