My Dear Good Wife: 

You may be surprised to receive so many notes from me by the same hand, but I have 
been so confused for several days that I do not know what I have written.  I have no reliable 
news.  We expect to get into a snarl soon, but I believe we are ready to give them a hearty 
welcome.  May the God of Battles be with us & help us as brave patriots defend our honor & our 
Liberties & the Liberties of our dear wives & little children.  I received a letter from Brother G. 
R. Tally.  Was proud to hear from him.  Give my love to all my Relatives.  Be of good cheer my 
Dear Wife.  Pray for your husband who is a soldier fighting in a good cause.  Tell Bob I sent him 
his directions how to proceed.  He can come.  Below you will find bill of Medicine which please 
send me by Capt. Davis.  Now my dear loved one let me close.  God bless you & my dear 
Children & spare your husband again serve you in health.  Tell your Father & Mother to 
remember me in their prayers.

I am your affectionate & devoted husband,

T.S. Taylor

Mrs. S.E. Taylor
