<html>My Dear Aunt,
We received your letter yesterday. Were
very glad to hear you arrived at home safely.
Hoppie Goodman stopped here and told us you had
gotten safely as far as Farmville. [?] Wood came
in to meet him went down to the depot but did not see
him so concluded he had not come and came on up
here. She had been in only a few minutes when Hoppie
came. Mr McGee came up yesterday. said every body
had left Hampton and the Federal troops had taken
possession of the town. He could not get a way good
to move his furniture as every body was moving away.
Some persons had to leave every thing not even taking their
clothes. One gentleman lost</html>
