Dear wief as John did
not get to start the other day
I thought I would rite you

it will find you all well
I have not got any thing
to write that is interresting
all quiet here now I wrote

you the last of the week
but I here that thare is so
much excitement about the
Small Pox in Atlanta I hardly
noe wether to look for you
or not you bring or send if you
dont come me one white shirt
Just send me the best ever
day shirt I have got dont
go to makeing a new one and
old one will do as good as
any I want it to ware on
general inspections I must close

only remain yours as ever

Tell the childering
all howdy for me &
come if you can
Sum think here
that peace will be
made this Spring
it is thought that
Ohio. Indianna &
Illinoise will

goverment if it does
I think peace will
be made I hope it
