Petersburg Va

Afraid he will hear that his “littel child” is dead
Had planned to send a letter by Higgins
He wants Thomas Davis to bring him a possom
He tells his wife to see Jacob Moore about a place
James Cowen thought she would get it
He had just come out of tunnel
F.M. Poteet to M.A.E. Poteet

[The above was typed from notes taken from the original
letter which has since been lost]
