Dear Brother.

I seat myself to answer your kind letter which I received by the hand of Mr. 
Christon.

I am in excellent health and hope when these few lines come to hand that they 
will find you enjoying the same blessings.

I would like to see you all very much.  tell Pop and Ma that I want them to 
drop me a line now and then to let me know how they are getting along.

I think that you did right to keep Buney at home, as I think that he could not 
stand the winter in Camps.  I got to see John C. Breckinridge and General 
Harder since we came here, they are both fine looking men.

I want you and Statia Holme to put off marying untill I get home.

I want you and Sammy to stay with Pop untill I get back.

I must now close by asking you to write soon.

L.B. Cooper
