Dear Husband

I again take the opportunity of writing you another letter I having a chance to send one by Curtis who is going to start to the Regt Thursday morning he got home last Sunday he looks very well better than he did when he went off.  We are all well and doing the best we can Mary Ambry vaxinated all the children to day. A soldier died of the small pox below Clarksville some time ago and we thought it was high time for us to be doing something The connection is all well. I was in hopes you would get to come home before you would have to go on so far but the first thing I heard you was gone I would send you lots of things by Curtis if he could take them and in particular your Razor for I hear that when you get anything to eat you have to take time to put your moustach be hind your ears and if it is so I am afraid you will get louzy in your face I got the last letter you wrote at Ringgold and the last I got was the one you wrote at Atlanta on your way to Mississippi we have heard of the fight at Vicksburg and heard of you boys being engaged in the fight and was glad to hear that none of our boys had got hurt I expect to move next week if nothing happens

(pg 2) we have heard that Alfred is dead but we don’t know that it is so Milligan Quinn is dead he died at Richmond I reckon you have heard that Jack Black and Cal Jacksons wife was dead Corben Hood Sr. is dead. There is very little sickness in the settlement at this time tell Elbert that Huldah and Willis is at his Papas to night and are both well tell Fayette that his family is well and Weslys family is well Marions family is well and all the rest of the folks is well

There is more favorable prospicts of peace soon than there has been I must come to a close for this time write soon and as often as you can  So no more for a while Your affectionat wife
