Do you think he is a Civil War Reinactor or Just weird?

Dear Mistress Elizabeth,
            The war here is unfortunately bad. The south has put up a good fight. As the sun sets, arms are put down so we can retreat to our camps. The fighting is brutal as all sides are hit with casualties. 
I try to think of you as i head into battle. I keep the cloth you handed me before i left. I can still smell your perfume on it. At night i dream of your silky skin, the curve of your thigh. The thought of you pressed against me calms my brain. 
Off to sleep now
   Dreaming of you...

                                 Yours truly,
