My dear Wife: 

Since I wrote this letter to you I learned from Mr. Underwood who is going to start home 
tomorrow that he will convey it to you.  I postponed mailing it & now I will write a note to let 
you know that I am getting well of my cold, & the health of our Company is better than it was 
some few weeks ago.  Brother Wm's & Cousin Capers health are good.  No war news at all.  
Dear Wife be of good cheer.  Kiss my little boys for me.  My Dear Devoted Wife I do not know 
how to write to you.  I want to see' you so bad, but the time is coming when I will be with you 
again.  Pray for me darling, God will hear your prayers.  I send by you a letter to Sister Matilda. 
You will please give to her.  Adieu My loved & adored Companion.
Your affectionate husband, 

T. S. Taylor. 

Mrs. S. E. Taylor.

P.S  If this gets to you before Capt. Davis leaves & he will bring them I want you to send me that 
coverlid I spoke of in a letter before this, 2 doz. boxes Ayers Pills, 1 doz. Box Essence Ginger, 
1/2 gal. good brandy, warm night cap, & things you think I need.
You had better see our pigs marked you know all of them.
Remember me to your father's family & also to my father's
Now I must close dearest one.
T.S.T

Mrs. S. E.Taylor
