My Dear Mother,

			As Andrew leaves this morning I will send

you a few hastily penned lines. I should have been to see you,

but do not think it would be prudent to travel so far by private

conveyance, And I had rather not go on the cars, as guards go

with every train to arrest all men under 40 years old who

attempt to pass, and send them to the Army.

I wrote to Dr. Wilson sometime ago, sending him a blank receipt

but gess he did not get it. We had no mail here then for

several days. (remainder of line unreadabale due to fold and tear)

Enclosed find a receipt. Tell Capt. Burton to pay you the

amount which you will please keep until I call for it

And if I never come for it, pay it Frannie,

			Be____ Yours __,

				A Chop/Choss
