Civil War Joke#1: Beware your mail

I think jokes represent the spirit of not only individuals but of eras as well. For this reason, they should be told.

A soldier left home to join the army and told his sweetheart that he would write to her every day. He fulfilled his pledge but after six months, his girlfriend sent him a Dear John letter and told him she was marrying someone else. When he wrote to his family asking for the author of this thievery, they informed him it was the MAILMAN.
