Letter addressed to: Mr. James Ervin Douglas from Eleanor More Douglas Branch

May 27 1862

My Dear Son
     I am permitted to write you a few lines to inform you that we are all well 
but George—he is not well but up. I am sorry to hear you are not well and I 
want you to get a furlough and come home and stay till you get well if you can 
get off/ and if you can’t come I want you to write to me. I will try to come to 
you for I see a great deal of uneasiness about you./ I heard from Mr. Branch 
yesterday and he was well and in Goldsboro. Anny sends her love and best 
respects and says if you have not seen no Yankees yet you must come home. 
Dorsey McNeill gives you his best respects and says he wants to see you bad. I 
want you to write to me and tell me how you are getting along and how you are 
satisfied. You can get Henry Prevatte to write for you./ Old Mr. Tyner is not 
well and gives you his respects and wants to see you. Write soon. I remain your 
loving Mother, E. Branch
