Letter To His Mother From Petersburg, VA


Letter addressed to Mrs. Elender Branch (Eleanor More Douglas Branch) 
Lumberton, N.C.

Petersburg, Va March 17, 1864

Mrs. Elender Branch
     Dear mother I this day seat myself for the purpose of writing you a few 
lines to inform you that I am well as...I have no news to write at this time 
only we are here at Petersburg yet/ but there is some talk of us leaving here 
but we don’t know where we will go yet. I got them things Mr. Tyner brought and 
I was glad to get them. Tell George and Mr. Tyner that I am well and hardy. So 
I come to a close by saying I remain your obedient son James Ervin Douglas to 
his mother Elender Branch
William Tyner writes a note on the back of this letter to inform his family he 
is alive and well, and adds at the bottom: “J Odum wishes to be remembered by 
his friends, if he has any.”
