Duplin County, NC - William Grimes Papers December 24th 1861 Dear Mother I have got Frank to go for my share of the property as the weather Is so cold. and my health Is so bad. I expect to come up In the spring. You must come home with him If you possibly can. The children are all well at present. I would not be surprised If Jack and Bill were taken to the wars pretty soon. Now Mother, If you will come with Frank, I will be sure and go home with you In the spring. The children want to see you very much. I send you a black calico dress. It is the best I can do until I see you. I close by sending my best love to all, you in particular. Your Daughter, Nancy Womack. Note:-. The above is a copy of a letter found without envelope or name of town from which sent. From information I have, I am sure it was mailed or sent by someone from Montgomery, Texas.
