I have just received

your letter, (as the Dr. acknowledged

that he had kept it in his pocket

for several days) and I hasten to answer it

although we did have a most [?]

[?] [time?] [during?] the Yankees [?]

[?] dear Hattie in these days every

thing is exaggerated and it might have

been [much worse?]. Indeed it [was?] becom

ing more apprehensive every day, when God

in his mercy sent us relief and freedom

[?] [?] it [?] [?] he alone [?]

Nothing I suppose [?] him but man

aged with [greater?] military [?] than

the attack made my [?] upon our

yankee oppressors. One house on [?]

hill was burned by the yankee soldiers

in [?] [?] and mischief. In [Winchester?]

[homes?] 4 or 5 shells [burst?] but no one

hurt. 3 shells burst in Mr. [?] Wall's

[Page 3]

[?] and I do not know how many balls

[lodged?] in his house [but no one looks?]
