Letter from Isaac Murrell to Lou Eddins
Minden
Not Dated

Dear Lou;

Last week I wrote you a letter. Since then I have rec’d the enclosed letter 
from Perry and thinking  you would be glad to see it, I enclose it.  In fact 
the whole family will be more than glad to read it. So don’t be selfish with 
it and take good care of it. We expect soon to hear of other hard fought 
battles in the neighborhood of Alexandria and Washington.  If so, Perry and 
John will boath be in the thickest, and may  probably fall in the contest.  
Perry has written to his father and mother one day later. And Mr. Burnham also 
to Loucinda same date, 4th, they report the health of the boys good, except 
some have measles and Perry thinks Robt. Smith has typhoid fever. He is sent 
out to an old widow’s house to be treated and was better as you will see in 
Perry’s letter.  Mr. B. reports John had come in was very well.

Mrs. D. Murrell’s husband died last week of congestion of the lungs.  All well 
at the plantation.  Stephen Bothe has been verry sick, so has old Esq. John 
Crow.  They are getting well, Betsy is not well, she still has that bad cough, 
but it is better, and may turn out to be Bronchitis or Asthma.  

Can’t you or Frank <Frances Eddins> come over and stay awhile.  We begin to 
want to see  you and we think you might spend a little while here very 
pleasantly  now as it is watermelon and peach time. 

Give my regards to all the family and particularly Frank.  Miss Lou Boon was 
married to a Mr. Alford living at the Cross Road in Bossier Parish on 
yesterday. 

Yours as ever, 
Isaac Murrell
