Transcribed from a letter in my possession.



Plaqumine, La. April 3/98



Dear Mother,



I will drop you a few lines I am not well. Some better than I was when I wrote 

last do you get my letters why don’t you answer them.



I am so I can sit up some I hope these will find you well. I heard from Newton 

last week. He was well he weigh sixty five pounds I am going to see him soon.



Ma I am so weak I can’t walk across the house but hope I will soon be so I can 

walk around soon. Are you all having any war excitement there? War is all the 

talk here. I think they will declare war next week. I hope they will. I think 

it tis time the United States was doing something to defend its own.



Ma where is Jenas post office at. I will close hope to hear from you soon.



Your son,



B H Bridges
