    I received your letter of the 20 of this instant and was very glad to hear from you and all the children
and to hear that they was all getting well. I got a letter also from Brother E.E.  Hendrix and was glad to hear from him and family. You wrote to me that you could get a calf and cow for 115$ dollars and if you can spare the money I want you to buy her and Brother Hendrix wrote that he got salt in Sparty and if you haven't got enough of salt to do you I want you to get some. I wrote you a letter a few days ago and wrote you that when you needed any advice about anything for you to go to Brother Hendrix for it. Nothing new to write to you at present. Times are disrupting in camps. The soldiers are almost in a state of rebellion and some of them declare that they will go home before long. These lines leave me well at this time hoping that they reach you all safe (and) find you all well

  Give my best respects to all enquiring friends and keep a portion to yourself
