I have no news to write you only I received a letter from you and I was more than glad to hear from you and you was well/ I got them things that you sent by Mr. Hughley(?) and I was glad to get them/ I want you to write to me and let me hear from George and you and how both are and how George is getting along/ There is some talk of getting money but I don’t no whether we will get it or not/ They say that the quarter master, they go it now, but I don’t know whether it is so or not/ Give my best respects to Miss Ann Branch/ So I close and remain your true son until death.
