Dear Son,
I write you a few lines this evening which will inform you that we are all in common health, and hoping at the same time (that) these few lines may reach you safe and find you well and doing well. We have been very dry here this summer and our crops are cut off very much by the drought, but I think that I shall make a' plenty of corn to do me and I have a very good potato crop and good pea crop so I think that I shall make enough to do me. I want you to write to me as soon as you get this and let me know how you are a'coming on and when you expect to leave there, for some of the soldiers that were there have gone to Chattanooga, and write whether you need any winter clothing and (if) you do then we must try to make you some by the time you want them. Nothing more at present.
Yours Until Death
Write Soon As You Get This
Yours Truly
John C. Harrison
to W.D.Harrison
(on back)
I have not heard from Ben since I wrote to you last. I heard from Wm Harden not long ago and he was well. And I heard from Isabelle and Mary about the same time and they was well. We have had a good rain today. Nothing more at present.
Yours in Haste
J. C. Harrison
