Lenoir Station E. T. & G. R. R. [1]
Oct 31 st 1862
My dear Wife,
Camptain Streetman
failed to get off on the 26 th as he
expected to do.
We have moved since then to
this station twenty two miles below
Knoxville, and the Captain will
leave to day for home & I will get
him to carry this letter
The clothes you send me
have them done up in a bundle
with my name marked on it.
Send the bundle to Alfharetta
and leave it with Maj James.
you can write a letter & get the
captain to bring it when he brings
the bundle. Write me all the
news in full. How corn wheat
bacon &c sells. How the crops
[page 2]
have turned out.
Enclosed you will find
a few hemp seeds. Sow them
next spring.

Has Ben Martin gone
to war yet?
No thing more at
this time.
Your Husband
W. Tompson
