Dear farther I agane take the opporty
to right you a few lines to let
you no that I am well at this
time truly hoping these few lines
may come safe to you and
find you all well I can say
to I received a letter from you
some time ago stating that you
was all well which I was glad
to here you stated you would
be glad if I could come home
you though you had grone a nough
for us both it would be much
pleasur to me if I could get to
come on a firlow much moer
if I could get to come home
to stay though I dont so much
prosspect of ever getting home
any moer I have bin living in
[page 2]
hopes that the peple of N.C.
would dwo something for pease
though they have bin talking
about it so long and I cant se
that they have dun any thing so
we have give up to have to fight
until we are all kild if it the
almity will I put my trust in
him for he has power over man
and if am not permited to ever
se you any moer in this life I
hope to meete you in a wirld
of pease whare their is no wars
nor sparation I will close for
this time by asking you to right
to me and give me all the
news you can for I wish to no
what is going on in N.C. & Co C
