Letter from James Ervin Douglas to his mother Eleanor More Douglas Branch

Camp Hill near Petersburg, Va, February 9, 1864

Dear mother 
     I this day seat myself to drop you a few lines to let you know that I am 
well at this time hoping that these few lines may reach you safe and find you 
well/ I received you kind letter which gave me pleasure to hear that you was 
well/ I was also glad to hear that Mr. Branch was well/ Mother, we have just 
returned from being down about New Bern and you better believe we made them git 
further and I am ready for them again if they feel like it/ We did not loose 
but a few men. We are looking for another fight in Va and if the Yankees comes 
the 51st will be pretty apt to get around at them/ I will close for this time/ 
I want you to write soon/ I remain your true and loving son until death. Ervin 
Douglas to his mother Elander Branch
Give my respects to all the girls/ I will come to see them as soon as I can/ 
When This you see Remember Me though many a Mile apart we Be. Ervin Douglas
