Letter addressed to Mrs. Elender Branch (Eleanor More Douglas Branch) 
From Private James Ervin Douglas

Camp Campbell, NC October 24, 1862

Mrs. Elender Branch
   Dear mother I once more seat myself to drop you a few lines to inform you 
that I am well at this time and these few lines I hope to reach you and find 
you well and in the best of health. 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. J.E. Douglas
