Manassas Gap Junction and
that the enemy were whipped with
heavy loss. If this is so, I hope
we will be sent there, then
I can see you for half an
hour. I am messing with he
Major and Wilson & [Griefon?]
my 1st Sergt. My relations with
the officers and particularly
with the men are [pl?][struck-through] very pleasant
I am as thankful for this as
for any other blessing I have
received since I left.
Why haven't you sent me the
$50 in $1 notes that I wrote for
some time ago, also my pants
and coats. Much obliged
for box. Tell Mrs. Jones I am
much obliged to her for the
[2]
letter which you said she was
going [underscored] to write also for the box she
was going [underscored] to send, the same
message to Davy Walker and
others about boxes. They were
all very nice, and should be
thankful to receive more [underscored]
Dont fill up your with
bread – the commissary allows
us flour. Send [them?] oft, and
send them long [underscored]
Good bye dearest. If God continues
his blessings on our cause we
my soon hope for peace and
then we can be together again.
Love to Aunt Al. Ask Mr. H.
not to let you starve.
Yrs devotedly
