Josephine, letter to JFS, 6 June [1865], says: "I write now because I have a little advice which I think you ought to take: Send for Levira and insist upon her coming home. If she can attend balls, and take long rides she is able to withstand the fatigue of a journey home.... You will keep this letter to yourself, for my sake. She would never pardon me, if she knew I had written so, although I do it because I think it for her good. She does not see these things as others see them--and I doubt very much if she ever can be made to. But, Joseph, make some excuse--give some urgent reasons for requiring her presence--without appearing angry--but get her home!"
