Record of service of J. F. Heizer during &ldquo;The War Between the States &ndash; 1861 &ndash; 1865&rdquo; ---47 (1) I joined the Churchville Cavalry when It was organized a year or two before the war broke out. F.F. Sterrett was elected Capt. R.R. Ruff[?] &ldquo; &ldquo; 1st Lieut. Jas. Cochran &ldquo; &ldquo; 2nd &ldquo; Geo A. Hanger &ldquo; &ldquo; 3rd &ldquo; Our uniforms were scarlet caps, and jackets with white collar, grey pants, and boots with spurs. We met in Churchville once each month for practice a few hrs drill In April 1861, we were ordered to report at Staunton for duty, but this order was given by someone who had no authority, so we were sent back home with instructions to drill every day while waiting for further orders. Sometimes, the latter part of April, we had orders to report for duty &ndash; this time, from the proper authorities. We were kept in Staunton several days when we were ordered to leave &ndash; our destination

being Grafton Va. On B.V.D. Ry &ndash; now West Va. Our Cavalry Co. was the first to leave Staunton for the western part of the state. We were joined at Monterey by a large Co. of Highland Infantry, and were overtaken by the Bath Cavalry which came to Staunton just after we left. Later on, the Greenbrier, Rockbridge, and Charlotte Cavalry Co&rsquo;s. followed us, and joined us somewhere in Western Va. We camped at Grafton for a week or two and finding that troops were coming into Va. from Ohio, we had to fall back, as we had neither arms nor ammunition suitable to fight with. We continued to fall back, from time to time till we feel[?] back to Philippi in Barbour Co. where Col. Kelley of an Ohio Reg&rsquo;t. was killed, and Dangerfield, of Bath Cavalry lost a leg. After this, we fell back to Beverly, for several weeks &ndash; we were then ordered to occupy Rich Mt. about five miles from Beverly. About this time Confederate topps in large nos., under Col. Pegram[?], came to western

Wilson (a first cousin of mine) and John [?] both of whom were members of the Churchville Cavalry, were killed &ndash; the first casualties in our Co. during the war. After this battle, sometime during this sum- mer, the battles of Greenbrier River, and Allegheny Mt. were fought, both of which I participated in. Nothing else of interest occurred during this year of which I was a member of Churchville Cavalry. Early in the spring of &rsquo;62 I joined McClannahan&rsquo;s Battery, which was attached to [?] Brigade of Cavalry &ndash; (ours being the only battery in this brigade) which was camped near New Providence Church at this time. I remained with said battery &lsquo;till Gen Lee&rsquo;s surrender, during which time I participated in most of the battles which were fought

And numerous other minor engagements, but the last battle our battery took part in, was the battle of Fisher&rsquo;s Hill where we lost our last gun, I firing the last shot of our battery. This battle was fought the latter part of the summer of &rsquo;64. In March &rsquo;65 we were camped in Albemarle Co., at North Garden, and rec&rsquo;d orders, April 8th; to report to Gen ----, at Petersburg, at the earliest moment. He started, at once, spending that night at Amherst C. H. Next morning, April 9th, we moved again, but before reaching Lynchburg we heard of Gen. Lee&rsquo;s surrender that morning. Our Battery came back to The Valley and was disbanded. I was quite fortunate in never having been

Home August 23 1864 My Friend Frank, I write a few lines in great haste to you thinking under the circumstances, they will not be entirely unwelcome. Phebe rec&rsquo;d yours yesterday stating you were on your way home. I am very sorry you got home quite so soon. I had hoped you would not get hold &lsquo;till next week as it is impossible for us to go sooner. Henry in Mag can&rsquo;t possibly go before Friday week and family not then until the next week. They could get their cloth ready before Friday, and a portion of us are dependent on him for a way to go. My object in writing to you is to represent the family to extend to you an invitation to come up. Come up and spend several days with us. If you cannot come before the last of the week come then, we have preaching

I am al- most myself. did not know that I was coming until an hour or so before I started. I have not been well since I went to Fairfield scarcely I wrote to Becca that I was not well; but had no thought of coming home. The Wednesday evening and went off to Moore and made arrangements to get me home with out my knowledge. I knew nothing in the world of it until next morning at breakfast, but I assure you that I was glad enough, as I was not much more than able to be up all day. I felt worse last night from the fatigue of riding home. I am strongly threatened with pneumonia and as my symptoms were so threatening. I had to give up my School altogether. I was very much dissatisfied the last time, on account of leaving Ma and Ginnie sick, and then the probability of Davis having to go to the army. But enough

of this, as it will rather have a tendency to tire than interest. I am sorry to hear that you missed seeing your friend Mr. Wilson. I heard before I received your letter. What he had gone a few days before, and was afraid you had not seen him. I heard that his Mother was taken very sick since he left home. You say that I ought to from the acquaintance of Miss Eas I would like very much to do so. I have heard her very highly spoken of and have an idea that she is a very fine lady. The trip to Arbor Hill, (or rather the way you missed each other) was a mystery to Becca as well as yourself. She thought strangely of it until I told her what you said. Some one told her that it was ten, so she concluded that you were so well pleased in the upper neighbor hood, that you were not coming, and as she had some business at Mr Blouts[?] she traveled on and you passed by while she was there. Mr Knisely and company did not favor us with a visit when they were up. I don’t know what in the world has become of them, whether they have gone home or to the Natural Bridge or what they have done with

I suppose they would make a grand display I understand all of the attendants were with them I am really surprised to hear about Joe I thought from what I had heard, that his doom was fixed as a bachelor; but I guess he thinkgs like Old Mr Mc [?]. I hope you spent the night very pleas antly with Capt R. as he is such a particular friend of yours. I certainly think he must be by you saying that you hadnt seen him for nearly a month. I dare say youo wull not see your sweetheart that often if you have to go to the Army. I guess you can see her a great deal oftener, perhaps every week for anything I know. I think that there will be pre- cious few left down there if marrying goes on at the rate it has for the last few years. Have you thought of my pre [?] about your chills? I fear they will all come [?] [?] but hope for better. Our trip seems to have had a bad effect on us both.

I am better now than when I wrote before; although I have not yet recovered I am confined to the house: but am able to be about all the time and hope with care I will et over my spell before a great while.

From your description of Miss McG I think she must be a very interesting young lady. I am have been anxious a certain young lady was to fond but your business to G. It really seem seems as though she had an interested motive. Now for Miss Flora Wilson Who is she? I never heard of her before. You say it did the Capt so much good to talk about the way he decieved her, I guess it would. I like to know of inquisitive people getting a downsetting occasionally.

Lieutentant Samuel F Carson and some sixteen or twenty of his men were captured a short time since. Stewart Brown was taken with the others. I believe he is the only one you know I believe there is no news of interest to communicate. Frank you ask me not to show your letters to anyone. I will not do it. I consider that it is treating a correspondent badly to show their letters, unless you have their consent. Now we will expect no one to see our letters. When I write I like to write as I talk, say just what I mean an nothing more. You may rest satisfied that your letters will be read by no one. Be sure and tell me when you expect to have to go to the Army soon, or at all Please excuse bad writing [?] as I am nervous and feel very badly. I will have to close and [?] as it is nearly twelve[?] I am your sincere friend Annie

Home, October 6, 1865 Friend Frank In referring to your last letter I find that it has been a month since I recieved it; but feel that I am excusable for several reasons. In the first place, I have been so busy that I have not had time to write to any one until a few days since. &ndash; and farther, I have come to the conclusion from the length of time you were in answering my last letters that you wre not particular about prompt ness, and that you could not expect (or rather not think hard) if I did not write soon. I dont know in fact whether you expected an answer or not, for you said nothing about me writing again, and as there as been nothing said in regard to a regular correspondence being carried on you may have taken this plan to stop it consequently I feel a great delicacy in writing and would not do it until I heard from you again, if it were not that I fear you would think me angry, obstinate, or something of the kind. I dont intend that you shall

think anything of the kind about me. I dont object to any one thinking I have independence for I have, and am happy to say that I have enough to take care of myself; but anger is a feeling that I wont indulge towards anyone that is, or ever has been a friend of mine. If seriously injured I would resort to prayer in preference, and feel that I could conquer an enemy sooner that way than any other I hope my enemies are few, I dont know that I have any open ones; but I am strongly inclined to think (from some things I have heard lately) that I have at least one secret enemy. In regard to the correspondence. You say that I will never have &ldquo;a more true and devoted friend than yourself, then why be so formal&rdquo; I must have the assurance from you that my letters will be acceptable, and that you wish a correspondence still to be kept up before before I can be anything else than formal I of course will not can not, make the attempt without a full assurance from you that it would be agreeable.

Fruit Farm Oct 14, 1866 Dear Friend I guess it is not necessary to apologize for writing today. I think as you said in your last, that many of us are guilty of worse offences than that of writing on the Sabbath. I am doing it today because I expect to start to Campbell Tuesday and will have a great deal to do tomorrow, as I will have a good deal of company, and a little more preparation to make for the trip. I was at Staunton last Friday week and got your letter in Greenville as I went through. I had my pictures taken that day. I had mine taken standing and three sitting. The last named posture is so much the [?] that I am sorry I have not the [?] of them. I send you one of the stan ding ones, and if you fancy the others ---1 (writing continued on page 1) I am afraid you will be ashamed of this picture besude your pretty girls.

If you could see it I think you would almost fancy that you are in company with the original, only it would not talk and laugh quite so much. The sitting ones are so much larger and vetter, the one I speak of is the only one of the three that was painted It was found in the lot and bespo ken, before I had a chance to see them all myself. but I may make some kind of a trade and get it back again. I have on eof the large ones yet that is not painted, but I will have a half dozen copied and well finish ed off and they will be for distribution after awhile. I would much rather I had one of them to send you now as they are so much more distinct, and natural.

November 19, 1865 My Friend Frank I am not in the habit of writing on the Sabbath day: but hope I will get forgiveness for it this time, as this is the only opportunity I will have this month. I once thought I would put off writing until after the 28th; but after considering the matter I thought I had best write a few lines tonight, adn give you the news, although I can&rsquo;t give you the points generally as well as I could after awhile. I commen- ced this letter pretty soon after dinner; but was called away from it by a gent coming in. He has just left and I guess I can write you a few hasty lines and they will be hasty too, I ask you to please excuse me for being in such a hurry. I was at Mr Corne lius Millers this morning at his wifes funeral. She died Friday night from We heard an excellent sermon from Mr Pinkerton, went from there to Carmel to the burrying and heard another sermon there. I saw nearly the whole tribe of your relatives. Your cousins Mary Bell, Maggie Wright, Melissa, Marie. Mag, Miss Eliza and Cap all your Unlce James&rsquo;s folks, and your uncle Wm Heizers. It was the largest procession I ---1 (cont&rsquo;d on page 1) I commit my trust to him and feel that I am safe in any emergency, with his guidance I hope to do more good for this cause and my fellow men.

You had better watch him now I tell you.

have seen since the war excepting Genl Rodes&rsquo;s It is reported widely up here that John Brownlee and Bettie Lightner are to be married shortly, + I kinda half way believe it too. I used to tell you that I never heard from your neighborhood, without hear ing that some one was, or was going to be married but the mania seems to have gotten up here now I never heard of the hike of marrying in my life. I think if they continue fo rhte next six months as they have commenced all the marriage able material in this part of the country will be con sumed, and those that can&rsquo;t altogther make the leap, will have to wair for the rising generations or not marry at all, which I spec is the best plan yet. I am getting to look for one or two weddings to come off every week, as they are getting almost that common. William Houser and Miss Hale Brown were married last Thurday, also Mr Archie Arm strong and Miss Eliza Brubeck, Miss Essie Ott + Mr Jacob Brubeck waited together. and Miss Mollie B and Mr Spencer. Your cousins John Wright + Cap waited on Mr H. And Miss Lizzie Brown + Miss Maggie H, on Mrs H.

I made the reamrk to your brother John when he was up, that as I never expected to marry myself, that it might- be that I would have the pleasure of attending a good many of my lady friends to the marriage alter. I spoke of it as a pleasure; but where the reality comes I dont like the idea much of loosing them I have to pay that, the last sad duty to my darling friend Annie H, the 28th. I consider it a compliment to be chosen as one of her attendants, when she has so many friends, and relatives that she cant even have at the wedding. She and I are just like sisters (to use her own words) and I will dislike very much to obliter ate her name frmo the list of the single blessed; but so goes the world. I think they are both doing well, and I ought to be satisfied, but the mischief of it is there are too many of them leaving at once. There is an other of my lady friends to be married this winter and a talk of a third. I dont like it a bit, they are fal ling off too rapidly I will ere long be left with &ldquo;no one to love none to caress&rdquo;. I cant tell you now who that other lady friend is at present. Annie Berry it is said will be married before long, She and [?] Maggie or Damarius, and myself are to be Annie H&rsquo;s attendants and Thompson

I have been very busy last week adn will this, I have been assisting her and have been sent for to go up Thursday and help to bake I can give you the particulars when I write again Aunt Jane Smiley is here and has typhoid fever very badly, she took it last friday and is very bad for the length of time she has had it. In regard to the enemies you know very well that I did not mean you. I dont thin you have any reason to be anything else than a friend, for I have never dont anything that I know of to merit your displeasure You say &ldquo;Let the past be forgotten&rdquo; It shall be so nearly as it is possible: but there are some things connected with it that never can be erased from memory. and is an unfathom able mystery to me. The worst thing I feel about it is that I heard that you should have told some ladies in the neighborhood that you never intended coming back here any more after saying yourself that you did not blame me for anything I think if you did that thing that you are not the friend of mine that I took you to be. It might have been wrong it me, but I contradicted it when I heard that young[?] ladies that. I doubt not that you have been found such a resolution [?] I have had some proof of it &ndash; by your actions. but my friend I could not think that you pretending to be a friend of mine could do that think, I am unconcious of having commited any offence in the world God knows what it was, I know not. Let him do as [?] him good.

<p>Home May 21st 1866 My Friend Frank It has been two weeks today since I received your letter since that time I have very unexpect edly taken a trip down to your neighborhood. I had been insisted upon by all three of the company form the neighborhood; but had not decided to go. They said they would furnish me a seat in the carriage if I would go. Last Thursday week Ma, Sallie and myself were away visiting and Cap came to let me know that they would start next day and I must be sure + go along, and [?] [?] not at home he wrote a note the next morning early I received a note from Marie Virginia saying I must be sure and be at her Unlce Alex by one oclocke. I didn&rsquo;t decide to go until afte Joe came, and then it was a hard matter for me to do so I was anxious to go yet, I felt that I ought not Captain took Maria Melis&rsquo;s and myself down as far as Mrs Wrights and Fannie and Mr W. joined us there had the pleasure of Mr Johns company down. He returned Sabbath morning. He went to Churchville that evening to hear Mr Walker, I met with Miss Jennie and several other acquaintances there, had a nice time. Your brother John went with our company to Mrs Cooks next morning,/I was aobut to forget to tell you that we had a call from Mr John Smith Monday (morning)</p><br /><p><br />(con't from page 4) Willie has been boarding away from home nearly all winter and no one at home but Pa Ma and myself [?] you can imagine how lonely I was, but I had company nearly all the time He is boarding at home since the weather got good and Emma Pax ton is boarding here going to school now and I&rsquo;m not so lonely. Sallie Paxton and Ginnie were here better than a week were with Ma whilst I was gone. I was glad that they were here for P dont like to leave Pa and Ma long without company; Neither of them enjoy very good health. I hope to hear from yuou as soon as you can make it convenient to write [?] [?] me [?] [?] [?] [?] to you. In haste your true friend Annie Please excuse this miserably written letter</p>

and spent the day, and John and myself stayed all night but Cap Marie Fannie and Meliss went to spend the night with Bettie Bear. We had quite a pleasant night Maggie Ott and Mrs Cooper were there that night too We went back to your Pa&rsquo;s Tuesday as John had invited some ladies in to see us. Miss Allie Hanger, Miss Josie Miss Jennie, Miss Sue Wilson and Miss Bettie and Mr Smith came. Missus Sues, Jennie, and Bettie and Mr Smith stayed all night. The others left. They did not leave next mor ning in time for us to make any visit that day before we left for Mr. Wm Bell&rsquo;s which was pretty soon after din ner. Melissa&rsquo;s horse got so lame that we could not work him after Sabbath day and your brother John brough us up as far as your Aunt Christians, Fannie John and myself went to Mr [?] Thursday and had quite a nice time. Miss Eliza went over to Mrs Knights with us and spent the by the way we had Mr Cal Swink with no that night. We had the finest kind of music. You may depend I [?] eyed it hugely and I think all did. Mr Wright furnished us a horse to put in the carriage and we got home safely Friday evening, that is. Bap and Marie brought me home and stayed awhile, and that ends the Chapter I was very much pleased with the ladies of Churchville They all promised to visit me as soon as possible. I think a great deal of Jennie and will expect you to bring her up as soon as you can, hope you will not do as you have been doing, several times in the last six months promise and not perform. If you fail to perform I will contine to construe it in the light of disinclination and have been considering it all this time.

I am always glad to see my gentlemen friends when ever they think worthwhile to come but never insist upon them coming. So rest assured that whenever you feel like coming or can make it convenient &ndash; you will be made welcome by every member of the family. Your Ma told me that you bought Albums by the Wholesale in Baltimore and that you sold them cheapter than they did in Staunton. I had expected to go to Staunton shortly to get one and give Mr Burdett a pretty good job. I have given on the [?] of getting mine in Staunton and I&rsquo;m thinking the Chance for Ma and Pa to go is still more so. I don&rsquo;t know thought whether we can get down or not. I will ask as a favor of you that you will save me one of your nicest ones if not too costly, and I will pay you your price. I have always wanted a nice one and will trust to your taste I would not be surprised if you could do a pretty good busi ness in Greenville if the Merchants don&rsquo;t get all the money before you come. Please let me know in answer to this if I can get an Album, at what price and how you charge for pictures. I would like very much to see your Album I guess it is pretty well filled up so much so that you would not have a place for mine if you had it. [?] [?] Your ma gave one hers when I was down Jennie promised me hers if I would give her mine I hope to get a good many this summer if nothing happens to prevent Uncle Wm L Mc of Mo has promised me theirs and I hope to get a good many from our Chicago friends Cousins Cyrus and Leander willb e down with their fam ilies the first of June.

<p>Stone Castle March 30 1864 My Friend Frank I wrote you a letter shortly after I received your other one and felt somewhat disappointed when I received your last and [?] that it had not reached you. I wrote it in a great hurry, but I am sure I directed it as you told me. I know letters are highly appreciated by those in Camp, especially if they are from the right ones, but at the same time I don&rsquo;t [?] mate that mine are so very interesting to you I know very well what you mean when you ask me if I can take a hint. Yes I can but I don&rsquo;t take that to myself for I cant help the letter going wrong. I am sorry it did not go, for when I write I don&rsquo;t like for anyone else to get the letters but the one they are intended for. When I com menced writing that letter I intended to write a long one, but before I was half done, Ellen came in and said that</p><br /><p/><br /><p>(cont&rsquo;d on page 1) I wish you to answer immediately and to write me all the news, write me a good long letter I trust you will be spared to return home [?] [?] your friends who will be anxiously await ing your arrival As ever your sincere friend Annie</p>

Harry was waiting to start to G and I hurried so that I forgot to tell you any thing that you asked me. The Central Presbyteri an came on safely started the Monday after you left. I can not express my thanks for so valuable a present. I prize it very highly indeed and think of the one who was so kind as to send it, as I read about the soldiers that are undergoing so many hardships for us. we should do all in our power to make them comfortable and hap py. I am also very much obliged to you for that poetry. You know I am a great lover of poetry and you may be sure that I was pleased with it. Davis is as well as he usually is, did not have a very bad spell, it is uncer tain whether he will have to go in service yet, as the question hasn&rsquo;t been decided whether the farmers will have to go or not Ginnie is able to go down to the dining room to eat now.

I will send it next time I write if we get it. I am glad to hear that you can get home occasionally, but would rather have known it a little sooner, or that you had not volunteered so soon. You may think strange of me saying such a thing without explaining what I mean, but I will tell you in my next, and you may anticipate even now, as everybody nearly seems to know all aobut it. I think I would not object to having my fortune told if it would come out as well as yours. You say you will tell me all about it when you see me. I hope you will and tell me the part you would not write.

They have all been laughing and talking in the room so that I cant write anymore I intended writing you a long letter this time but have to labor under so many dis advantages that I have to hurry and finish this horridly written letter. All send their warmest regards to you. I sincerely hope this letter will go safely as you did not get the other.

Fruit Grove. January 18th 1867 Dear Friend I have been waiting to see if you would write and tell me how you got home but find that I will have to write and inquire sure enough. I would have written before this but I have been so busy that I have had no time to write any one I will now try and give you the jottings along the way since I saw you. I believe there was nothing starting the final few days after you left the time passed off with some company +c. Saturday morning I was in a fine spirits and made the remark that I thought nothing (scarcely) could dampen my enjoyment that day there was to be singing at O.P. that day and I was making preparations to go and expected a nice time.

but before I left I received sad intelli gence of Cousin Fannie Nephews death and I assure you it was a sad day to me I went to singing rather against my feelings and met with some of my friends. Martin proposed a sleigh ride and I enjoyed it more than anything else. I went to his house from singing and took supper and went on up to Mr N&rsquo;s. The funeral was preached at the Church as there was about eighty persons and they could not begin to get in the house Hawpe Carson brought me down to the Church. and Samil[?] Lightner from the church home. There was a little dining at Listers last Wednesday and Martin came down and took me in his sleigh. There were Misses Pattie Moore + Sallie Mines. Martin and [?] Moore Steelie Paxton and myself.

They had a pretty gay time I was rather blue tho, for Martin had brought me a letter from Greenville that morning (from Nannie) and it contained some sad news. and some that was cheering. She says that she is wanting to trip back to Virginia is having chills and is looking lean I am sorry to hear it. for she is going to start to College in Memphis and in all probability will stay a year or two, and I am afraid of the consequen ces. She writes very affectionately, and says she believes she will &ldquo;live an Old Maid love myself (herself) and my Annie.&rdquo; She is a very confiding creature. her hearts great- est secret is not too good for me. she says she tells me more than any one else on earth. I have to write to her this evening too. I would have had both of your letters finished if there had not been company here all morning

Friday night) I was writing interrupted by my friend Mr Samuel [?] A Lightner coming in. I spoke of several persons coming in and keeping me from writing and it seems that I am not to get it finished. I guess you heard me speak of Mr L when you were up He is one of our most worthy gentlemen perfectly sober and very industrious. I had a very pleasant time with him this even ing. I wish you could have been here to have heard some of his witty remarks about tra ding sewing machines. He is an agent for some Machine and says he will take trade he would rather have a machine that could sew, knit cook, and sit at the head of the table and pour out the cof- fee. There was something said that I wont speak of now, Excuse nonsense. I will expect to hear from you very soon as I have broken the ice. Give my best love to all. Write soon your friend Annie All wish to be kindly remembered by yourself and family

Home January 11, 1866 My Esteemed Friend &ndash; I guess you are by this time pretty well settled down to your studies, since your Christmas enjoyment and a letter from a friend will be somewhat acceptable if not too long. In your letter you told me you were go- ing to a wedding at Bridgewater; but did not tell me who was to be married at all. I heard from you since you came home. I guess Miss Jennie, your Rockingham friends, and yourself had a nice time at Mr. Sellers Our students up here complained that they could not get their minds settled upon their studies for awhile after the holidays and I imagine that would be your fix after having spent the time so pleasantly as you did. You spoke of apologising for not writing sooner. I sh&rsquo;d think you were rather slow; but come to the conclusion that you were better employed than you would be in writing to me and may be it had got to be an irksome task and if that be the case, I need not ex pect prompt replies. I am happy to hear from you often, but when it ceases to be a pleasure to you just speak the word and I will stop the correspon dence. Really thank you write so seldom and your

I am in the habit of writing long ones to my other correspondents and they give me the same in return, I am included to do the same with yours, not only from habit, but because tehre is so much news in this fast-day. I have written nearly three pages and have not told you about a single marriage or death, how we have been getting along since I last wrote or anything of the kind. You remember I told you in my last that John B and Bettie L were to be married. They were, the 19th of Dec and I am very sorry to say that John is doing worse than he ever did They are going to move Monday. Don&rsquo;t say anyhting about drinking please. This is confidential.

Fruit Grove Jan 22nd 1867 Dear Friend I guess you are thinking strange ly of me for not answering your letter of the 10th; but will not censure me when you hear that it only came to hand last night. None of us had been to G- for several days and it laid longer than it ought to have done. Before this reaches you, you will doubtless have received the one I mailed in Fairfield for you I am glad to hear that Joe is on fair footing. (or is likely to be.) I surely have never spoken a harmful word of you to anyone. That is out of my line of business. If I cant speak well I don&rsquo;t speak at all. And far from speak ing ill of one I love. I feel that I cant trust myself to write you a long letter now.

but will give you the reply that Gen&rsquo;l Jackson sent to Santa Anna. &ldquo;If he wants me, let him come and take me&rdquo; You will think strangely of the reply: but I think it is expressive enough. You can see what I mean by it. I have all along tried to do justice to everybody. and ask guidance from on high and I try to think that all is for the best however painful the reverse, and in regard to our affairs I think it a great deal for the best that it has been put off this long I hope there will be no more misunderstan dings and our future will be one bright sun. I hope you will not have be disappointed about this letter not coming sooner as I have written as soon as I could. Tell your parents of it, and come up soon. Mine are willing. I can scarecly realize that after more than a years mis understanding that I am to be the same I once was to you, and perhaps, ere long nearer than ever before.

Fruit Grove December 6th, 1866 My Dear Friend I received your letter yesterday and as you wish to know about Gertie, I will write you a few hasty lines. Robt is going to Staunton and is most ready and I will not have time to comment on your very interesting letter. It was so much longer than usual that it reminded me of old times. I wish I had time to answer it now, but Rob will be waiting before I could say much I don&rsquo;t know anything about Gertie whether she is at home or not but come on prepared to visit her and it may be that I can find out by that time. I rec&rsquo;d a very interesting letter from Ms Sallie Hines of Ky[?] yesterday

Fruit Farm September 24/ 1866 [?] Friend Frank I recieved your letter the 12th, and thought I would put off answering it a little longer, than I did when they had a good way to go. My reason for putting it off was because I have been so busy, and thought as it had such a short distance to go that you would not notice the difference. I am very busy fixing to go to Campbell, will start in about two weeks if nothing prevents Sister is sick today, was suffering so much yesterday evening that she could scarcely get home. It is either neuralgia or inflammatory rheuma- tism + is suffering intensely today ---1 (cont&rsquo;d on page 1) and can scarcely think yet that nay one that seemed to be the [?] you did, would say sucha thing without any provocation, and I am perfectly uncon- scious of ever having done any thing to wound your feelings. I have spent many an unhappy moment thinking of it, and I would reason myself out of the conclusion that it was the case your actions did not so strongly to prove it. If it is so I can nev er forget it; but I have not a hard feel ing against you in the world and I hope it never may be the case, no God forbid that we shall ever be enemies. I wrote to you once about the remark I speak of and that point was never answered, and I never expect to put it in black and white again

You speak of the fair in C. Christmas night and ask me to come. I assure you I would be delighted to be there and always enjoy my visits to your neighborhood very much indeed but I am inclined to be a little formal now and as none of the folks have returned my bisit but your Ma I think I cant come for a while yet, as I would rather take the rounds when I do go. There has a gentle man friend of yours as well as mine asked me to go down to the neighborhood with him then; but I have not answered him positively yet. I guess you will have a nice time there I rather expect to have a good deal of compa ny aobut that time, as I always do. You did not tell me in your last whether you ex pected to go to Salem after Christmas or not and it not, where you do expect to go to but perhaps I have no right to anymore. pardon me if I have been too fast. Give my love to Jen- nie and tell her she cant imagine how much I appreciate her pictures.

Fruit Farm, July 8 1866 Friend Frank Yours of the 6th of June came to hand more than week since, + [?] are early reply, and at the time I thought I would have answered long ere this; but I have been unavoidably prevented, and even now I feel very little like writing for I was sitting up last night and feel very nervous You can see that very plainly and I feel it as much so. I don&rsquo;t expect to be at home after today, scarcely any this week, and thought that I ahd best write if it was, bad done it would perhaps be somewhat appreciated. You ask how I was pleased with Miss Sue Wilson. I was very much pleased with her indeed. I think her a very nice aldy and would be happy to have a visit from her.

I want you to ascertain exactly when it will suit her to comeand let me know, fot it might be possible that I would be away from home if you don&rsquo;t I have always wanted an Album ever since I knew there were such thin hs and determined that when times become settled I would have one and get my friends pictures if possible. I intended buying one and getting my friends pictures; but of course I will appreciate one far more highly if presented by a friend I did not expect such good luck as that

I want it very badly. We are going to have a Barbeque and public speaking in a grove near Greenville the 21st of July expect to have a great time I believe.

I guess they will have music but I don&rsquo;t think there is any dan cing in the programme, or anything carousing. I hope you will excuse this miserably written concern.

She is like a sister to me, and of course we will not be as intimately associa ted hereafter. I feel somewhat like I did when Annie Harris was married; but the circumstances will be very different as the one will be near enough for me to see her whenever I want and the other I may never see again I may possibly be favored with an invitation to some others but I don&rsquo;t know certainly when they will come off. You rather complain about me not promising you my photograph. I have not had any taken yet + don&rsquo;t know how soon I will have an opportunity of having any taken. I think you are are a friend of mine, or you once were and I am sure I have never given you, any reason to be an enemy or anything of the kind.

So I concluded after you sending me word not to be later than half past nine that you were not coming or for some reason or other had gone on. In fact hardly knew what to think. I went down the turnpike and across the Howardsville road to Mr. Blouts to attend to some business and was detained a good deal longer than I expected, con- sequently you coming down the other road you got in ahead of me. I still hoped to get ahead of you, and you would overtake us, or we would meet at Arbor Hill, but when I got there you had been gone an hour. Mr Baylor did not know you, said he knew John. I was very much disappoin ted in not meeting with you, but hope to see you before very long. O&rsquo; Frank are you going to the Army? Please don&rsquo;t go, you can get off easily if you want to. I do not think it would improve your heath any at all.

Why did not Mr Knisley bring his bride and attendants to see us. I did look for them a very little. I would indeed like to take a sly peep at Joe to see how time has used him. Frank I have no news, but I will tell you a plan of mine. I will only give part of it this time. I want to take Phebe down to your neighborhood in March or April. But will you be at home? Probably we can make arrangements so that you can come up in March and we will go home with you. But we can both judge better nearer the time whether that will suiuts. If I find that it does I will write you exactly when to come provided the weather is such we can go, or you will stay untill it gets good. But I am so much afraid we will be disappointed. No more but many wishes for you success and happiness. Your sincere friend Frank you must excuse the blots and mistakes for I scarcely ever made so many. I cannot imagine why It is, for I try to guard against it.

Home February 16 1866 Esteemed Friend I have been fixing to go to the [?] at West View tonight; but as I have given out the [?] of going, I will take a little time and write a few letters. I received a message from a friend in that neighborhood to be sure and go, and I was very anxious to go and would have gone if the weather was not so cold; but it is almost decided now. I may possi bly go in the morning; but it is rather doubtful Cap was here a few days since and talked as though they would certainly go. If they go you will be apt to see them. I wrote to Melissa this morning in comp liance with a premise I had made her a short time since We had made arrangements to meet at some one or two places, and I wrote to let her know that I would not go down at all. I had intended beign at Mrs Cooks Mr [?] and Mrs Wrights as I have not returned the girls visits, and have had many kind solicitations from them all.

I suppose you have heard ere this of Maggie Rowan marriage. She married a Mr Barclay from Lexington He represents himself as Captain; but it happens not to be the case. He is a gent of considerable note If reports fly at the veloctiy they generally do you have his full history before this time. My dear friend Annie Carson was down day before yesterday, and we took a trip to Greenville and had a delightful time. Brother received a letter from your uncle Mr Harris that day and they were all well. I was at a Valentine drawing and seen a good many nice ones passing as you are in C. My warmest regards to the family. Nannie C. sends regards to yourself and John. Please excuse this miserably written letter as it is so cold that we are all most freezing and I can scarecly write at all.

Home August 17 1865 Dear Friend Frank I suppose after you making the re quest you did in your last, that I am not at liberty to address you in the familiar way that I have been in the habit of doing for the past sixteen months; but will have to be different &ndash; more formal. For regard to the letter that I did not get, I sincerely believe that it was gotten by someon ewho has been looking into these matters, opened and destroyed. (or perhaps presented [?] [?] [?] more [?] [?] I have the best reasons in the world for saying that it has been the case because there are persons that have been trying to break off the engagement for a good while, and if I had listened to them they would have succeeded; but I turned a deaf ear. Nothing would have done me more good than to have received that letter, for you say that it was lengthy and would have been satisfactory, those are the kind I love to receive but the pleasure was denied one of ever perusing the contents of a letter that would have perhaps been more satisfactory than any

I shall ever receive again. You say you are sorry you couldnot report in person what are your reasons, you have several weeks to go on and still you cannot gratify one [?] to come and give an explanation. I shall certainly think very strangely, yes, I may say hard of you. If you leave without giving one your reasons. You say it is impossible for you to give them in black and white, well what other alternative is there then, than to come u if you intend on giving them at all. And I assure you that I will think very hard if you break off this matter without letting me know what your reasons are. You speak of my constancy and say that it is no fault of mine, that you don&rsquo;t reflect upon me for anything, well Frank what is the reason you cant confide your reasons to one I am confident that none of our family have had any thing to do with it. I wrote you a letter last Sabbath morning in which you can see how miserably we feel about what happened whilst you were up here.*they are all as mad as can be about what happened* That wicked girl has been expelled on account of it and will never receive any countenance from any of the family while time

lasts. All of the family are just as mad as they can be about it. I feel that this in connection with the correspondence being so nearly broken and you not getting a letter for so long a time was enough to make you feel very unhappy indeed, [?] I don&rsquo;t blame you for thinking strangely of it; but now that I have done all that I can do I don&rsquo;t reflect upon myself for not having done any duty, I have made matters plain and showed you my agnorance of the matter until last Sabbath morning, and just as soon as I found it out I wrote to you about it. That was all I could do, I have done all I can do. I think that when you don&rsquo;t fault me for anything about it that I suspect your feelings. If your feelings were still the same they once were, you would not suffer such things to come between us. If you don&rsquo;t blame me what momentous incident has taken place when the thing was so near at hand as you say you thought it was. I think another has taken my place in your affections and that is the cause of this change.

If that is the case I am better satisfied that that it was misconduct on my part for that would have been distressing indeed to me, I am a weak human creature any am not capa ble of doing right - in thought, word, or deed but my constant prayer is for improvement to be made a better child, a better christian If I had been guilty of any misdeomenor to crush this thing it would cost one many more [?]; but I have the consolations, if there is any consolation in the matter at all that I did not do the thing.

I feel that I can learn many valuable lessons from this thing, and as I grow older, will practice and profit of them. It is useless to give them I guess. I would give most anything to have received that first letter. You say you felt so confident two months ago that a certain occurrence would have taken place this fall I want to know if there was anytime set or any reference to that in the least, or if your [?]

We must try to meet in a heaven as friends if nothing more. It may be that we will participate with each other in the joys, nor share each others sorrows, in this world. I hope you will answer this letter sooner than you did the other one and write a long one I never saw persons hate anything as badly in my life, as the members of my family that are aware of the trick that wicked girl played upon you. I hope I never shall see her again.

Home August 13, 1865 Dear Frank I wrote you a long letter as soon as I received yours + I fear from what I have heard since that you did not get it before you started away. I shall direct this one to Churchville and I hope it will be forwarded immediately I think if you had received any other one that you would have come up before you left. I have received but one letter from you since you left, and that one has made me miserable ever since I was in great [?] until I received that one and could not imagine how only you did not write, but I did not receive the first was perfectly horror stricken at the second I have not until this morning found out something that took place when you were up. I thought very strangely

Of your being so hasty, until I found that out, but now I don&rsquo;t think so much of it; but still you ought to have known that neither myself or any member of the family had anything to do with it. I never had my feelings so badly hurt in my life. Ma and R are as mad as you please about it, and the one that was guilty of the action will be dismissed on account of it. I t was an accident that I found it out at this [?] day; but I never shall forget it, or get over it. I guess it [?] worth while to tell you what it is for I know you have found out ere this. It was a trick one of those girls played on you and the other one never told on her until this morning. I know it was very mortifying [?] you; but not any more so than it has been to me.

There is some one intercepting our letters, and that is the reason why I would so much rather you would come, and besides, the supplanation can be more satisfactory. If you can&rsquo;t come write and let one know all about it for I am in miserable suspense. I feel that this matter has gone too far to be dashed to pieces without any explanation whatever. The first question is, Do you wish to be released, that one being answered will afford a key to all the rest, I have showed you that I am the same, and if you wish it, why of course I will do any think to make

Home April 2nd 1866 My Friend Frank I have concluded to write to you tonight, but am not at all in a writing mood. I am rather disturbed by talking but I don&rsquo;t mind that so much as the headache. I was at Mr. Wallaces today, had quite a pleasant time. I was at Greenway last evening and saw a good many of your relatives. Miss Eliza and some others are going down to your Aunt Wrights this week. Marie Brownlee told me that the company that intends going to your house, will be apt to go in corn planting season. She also said that you would be at home then. I told her that I knew nothing about your wishes and intentions. The sacrament commences at Carmel the 13th of this month. I hope to attend. We are still having weddings plenty of them. I suppose you have heard me one this of Miss Maggie Berry and Mr Christ. I guess you did dislike the idea of leaving Church ville I imagine you are very not only attached to the

Place, but very strongly attached to some of the people. I had not heard that you were married but would not be at all surprised to hear of it any time. I have my ears opened now and am not surprised to hear of any one marrying and of course I suspect to hear of your amonth the rest as it is so fashionable. I think you must have thought you were writing to Miss Jennie or Miss Nellie when you ask about a likeness. I had thought you had theirs already. I would like to see your Albemarle girls picture, I guess she is quite a nice lady. I remember of making that promise in May 1864 and as I was requested to &ldquo;forget the past&rdquo; I supposed as a matter of course you had, and that that promise, amongst others of far more impor tance had long since been committed to sombre shades of oblivion. I have never had but the one taken and that belongs to Ma. If I can get Pa and Ma persuaded to go to Staunton this sum mer, I intend having theirs taken for my album You remember I was very anxious to get one while the war was going on; but have never

They both hold out strong inducements for us to go west If I were not the only one left at home with my parents you might expect to hear of me taking a trip, but as it is, I will be apt to remain at home. I expect some way or some other way to have some likenesses taken this sum mer. Sister talks of going away this fall and I will have to have it taken for her and there are several others that want one. One of my most intimate lady friends thinks of going to [?] this fall and antoher perhaps to Memphis [?] if Sister goes away she will have all of theirs taken and we will have a pretty good job for Mr Burdett if we can get to Staunton, and if we cant I may be an artist will come around through this [?] of the country some day.

Your letter did not come until last Wednesday evening. I was getting very uneasy before it came and when I found how soon you had written, I knew it was not your fault. I am sorry you felt so badly when you got home. Essies Mother has left Mr Smiths and gone to Mr Helch&rsquo;s near Fairfield, so you see Essie</p><br /><p>(cont&rsquo;d from page 4) Dont be uneasy I take carae of myself well and be well as soon as possible I hope you are well All join in love. ginnie was looking for you and I tonight She baked a big cake for us Dr + Mrs Thompson will be there tonight.

Essie cannot get to see her easily In regard to bringing another horse for her when you come I think it unnecessary trouble, as she can go down so easily in the wagon, and it will not be much longer, and she will not be a great deal of service in cleaning up. Becca says she will go down in the wagon with you if you come up for a load, as teh big wagon will not hold all. Pa will come after her if she goes. I have not been very well since Friday morning I was going in the kitchen with a bucket of cherries in one hand and a bucket of water in the other and tripped and fell + jarred myself so badly that I was strongly threatened with a miscarriage, in fact it had commenced but I got it

He was speaking of Mrs McNutt looking so well, said she did not look like she had been sick, and some one remarked that she looked a great deal better than I did, and he said O yes but she (me) looks well for the chance she has had, and I asked him if he meant that I was so bad, and he&rsquo;s reply was &ldquo;Yes you were, I did not expect to see you walk this soon, you had milk leg[?] and you might never have walked again, and no how at least for several

He seems to think the baby will get along better than me, says she don&rsquo;t know who she takes it after to be so pretty. She has been very sick since I wrote before with cold I was very uneasy about her, but she is better now, the eruption is dying on her now. but I still feel it and have a bad cold. I guess I will take broken doses of salts. Ma&rsquo;s hand has been very bad she did not rest scarcely any with it for the first few nights.

Fruit Farm February 7th 1867 Dear Frank Your letter came to hand yesterday evening. I was glad to hear from yourself and Jennie: but sorry to think that I could not meet you in Staunton, as we were down last Tuesday, - found the roads were getting so bad that we would not be able to make the trip in a day if we did not go as early as possible, did not make the arrangements until Monday night and couldn&rsquo;t possibly let you know. I have sent your letter to Martin and asked him to reply immediately. I have not time to comment points. Hope you will excuse me for not sending you the words to Departed Hours. We will of course have the Dr. Thompson he will be &ldquo;all right&rdquo; he has been suspecting pretty strongly [?] how - wish you could have seen him yesterday. how he watched Damaris + myself. I would like very much to hear if Mr. B and John Wright, will be on hand or not. I will expect to hear from you in regard to all of your second bests. I have not heard from Blanche yet. I guess she will act tho. In regard to Pa meeting you in Staunton, he thinks the Monday before (18th, I believe) Jennie will be obliged to go before that time. Pa will have to meet his school Friday and Saturday. So it will [?] him best Mon day &ndash; hope this appointment will not be inconvenient for you.

Sallie has not been so well today as she has been was very restless this morning and we thought best to give her some of the medicine the Dr left for her. I was very uneasy about her but she has awakened since I commenced and is so much better tonight I think. The medicine I gave her this morning had a good affect When you come up please bring my purple dress that has the ruffle round the skirt I believe the roll of pieces like it is there in the upper drawer. I will have to alter it before I wear it. Ginnie Ott, Rachel Mines + mag were here to-day. I will not close to-night and will tell you how Sallie is in the morning. Ma say up all day today. It is mid night and Sallie claims my attention an I know you would say &ldquo;go to bed&rdquo;. Saturday morning. I will add a few lines this morning but will have to be in a hurry as John wants to start. Sallie is a good deal better is very sprightly and rested very well last night. All the rest are as well as usual. All join me in love to your

Fruit Grove, Wednesday Morn. Feb 26th 1868 My Dear Husband Robt got home last night safely and cheered me with a few lines from you. I am al- ways glad to see your handwriting if it is only a few lines. I am glad my dear husband that you improve every opportunity. I am so glad you got home safely and tat Nellie is down and that dreaded job is over. I guess it will not be long ere you will take the rest of your &ldquo;stock&rdquo; down Sallie Steele is better than when you left I think but is very restless and weak at times. I think the eruption is partly the casue of it. The Dr was here that evening and asked particularly for you when you would be back +c. He says that Sallie will get along very well now, left some more medicine to act on her [?], but told me to discontin ue it for a few days and she how she got. She is very sprightly most of the time laughs and seems quite well at times. Ma is able to sit up part of the time. Sister is still here waiting on Sallie you need. not have any fears about me being exposed while she is here. I feel so unbounded gratitude towards her for her untiring kindness to our sweet little babe + myself. Marie Hawpe is tolerably well is as much reconciled as could be expected under the circumstan ces. I will let you know if Sallie gets any worse. I will have to close as Pa is waiting and babe is stirring. Please excuse haste Love to all, God bless you my noble hus- band. Your loving wife Annie

As Martin was obliged to decline waiting on you on account of a buggy, he will go with them on horseback. I extended your invitation to my family, and the above named are all that are going. I thought you would like to see Martin and I knew he would be delighted to [?] We are all delighted to hear that Mr John is all wright and will bring his melodeon. he can leave it until he brings his lady back. In regard to staying down a month, of course if you wish it, I will do it as &ldquo;you will, shall be my pleasure.&rdquo; I had not thought of staying more than two or three weeks; but know that it is best that I stay longer as the roads are so miserable now I am afraid we will stick in the mud Friday

I guess it is not so bad but it might be worse as I have not heard from Blanche yet and I think it almost too late to supply both places, as one of the party might decline for want of time to get ready and that would subject us to a great deal of inconvenience. So I think we had best just depend upon the three a piece and then we will know what to [?] upon We will (perhaps)

Fruit Grove December 11 1867 My Dear Husband I am leaning up in bed + feel that I must write you a few lines if they are few and badly written. I feel that it is almost too much of an undertaking as I have only leaned up in bed but once before. and am quite too weak to sit up on a chair. I have been mending slowly since you left, have not much of an appetite + not enough of milk for our babe. She is just as good as she can be, you would scarcely know there was a child in the house. I think when I get up my appetite will improve and I will have milk for the babe. I will have to lie down as I am suffering + am tired. Friday morning Annie wrote the above lines on Wednesday + did not feel like writing more + got me to finish as soon as we found we would have an opportunity to mail it, She feels today about like she did when she wrote _ babe is well we think Annie is improving slowly, cannot sit up yet. We will send for you immediately if she gets really worse. Hope you are quite well. We rec&rsquo;d a letter from Sallie Paxton saying Marie J[?] is invited to wait on a lady from Richmond who is to be married to John Paxton New Year eve.

one of the divans, writing to a dear friend. There are many ideas crow ding my brain; but neither time, paper or propriety will allow me to tick them down. I dont mean by any means that it would be a breach of propriety to let you; but it would rather be breaking a resolution, which I have made which as, to be my own secret keeper at least as far as my own thoughts are concerned I guess there are not many that would be very much interested it them as there are very few that are intimately concern ed. This is comparatively a quiet day alth ough then is company here now. There are only two persons here now and there has not been a day since we came but we have had more com pany.

Upper Tract, Pendleton Co, Wva April 28th 1866 My Friend Annie, I expected to have answered your last letter much sooner, but have not been able to do so. I left Crab bottom yesterday week, came to Franklin, and started to Staun ton the next day for material, got home Sunday, spending Monday and Tuesday very pleasantly in the neighborhood visiting. Started back to the mountains Wednesday, and got to Mr Kniselys that night, found Sue sick and no company except &ldquo;Arthur and Andrew&rdquo;. She was quite unwell, very lonely and homesick. I don&rsquo;t think I even met with anyone who was more glad to see me, and I am sure I was never more sorry for any one in my life. Mr K. is in West Va, but Sue is expecting him home every day. The next day (Thursday) I came to &ldquo;the tract&rdquo; and spent the night with your Wilson. I could scarcely keep from calling his wife &ldquo;Becca&rdquo;, she looks so much like your sister Becca, and I think her ways are very much like Becca&rsquo;s also. We have a room rented belonging to Capt Bond, and will commence operations tomorrow morning. You will be surprised to hear that Capt Bond was Captain of the &ldquo;Swamp Dragons&rdquo;. However the secessionists of this neighborhood seem to think a good deal of him, We had a friends quarrel yesterday evening on the

war question, and have promised each other that we will not fall out about it. I have taken up boarding for a few days with Mrs Kyle, but will board with Capt Bond as soon as I commence business. I have eaten with him a couple of times, and the fare is very good and the family seem to be very nice people. Since leaving Churchville, I have formed some pleasant acquaintances in every neighborhood in which I have been, and I have found some of the hardest customers I have ever met with. I think I will like a majority of the peole in this neighborhood very much. I would like very much to know why you think I am so strongly attached to some of the people in Churchville. I assure you I am not attached to anyone in par- ticular. I have an idea what you think about it, hand if I am right &ndash; in my supposition, you are entirely mistaken. Miss Jennis Stover told me the other day that she and Mr. Smith had intended paying you a visit, but now she would not go with him, for reasons that I will give some future time, if I have an opportunity. I expect before very long to be at home to spend a few weeks, and if I am not disappointed, it is likely that Miss Jennie and I will pay you a visit. You say you would not be at all surprised to hear of my marriage anytime. I would be very much surprised to hear of it in twelve months, and

It is very likely that it will not be for several years, and perhaps never. I am sincere in saying that I am not engaged to anyone. Why did you think I supposed I was writing to &ldquo;Miss Jennie or Nelia&rdquo; when I asked for your picture? Who told you anything about them? I have a picture of each of them, but they are only friends. I have been corre sponding with Miss Jennie for sometime, but it is only a friendly correspondence. She is a nice lady indeed, and I love her as a friend and nothing more. Do you think that I have ceased to care for you, that I don&rsquo;t want your picture? If so, I assure you, you are disappointed. The price they charge in Staunton for pictures, is 50cts a piece, or 5.00

for dozen. It is likely that if no one else does I will spend a few weeks at the business myself in Greenville during the summer, perhaps the latter part of the sum mer. Miss Bettie Bear, and Miss Gertie spent the night at my Fathers the night before I left home. Bettie gave me a description of her visit, she was very much pleased. Mr Bowling expects to move to your neighborhood next week. You ought to visit her, if you could, she is a very nice lady. Please excuse this awfully written letter, as I have written in a hurry. I have several others to write this evening yet. As ever your friend, Frank P.S. Direct to Franklin Pendleton Co. West Va My kindest regards to the family

Home, September 5th/66 Much Esteemed Friend, Your very welcome letter of August 10th reached me yes terday. I left the &ldquo;State of Pendleton&rdquo; the 22nd of August, and consequently did not receive your letter until since I came home. When I came home, I found a letter here for me, from a lady friend in Albe- marle, dated June 27th. I wrote to her in April, and she replied in a few days, but I did not receive it, and she supposed I did not, as she received no reply from me, and wrote again in June. John wrote to me, intending to send her letter to me, but forgot to enclose it, and did not find out

that he had forgotten it until since I came home. I wrote to her immediately of course, and made an explanation, hope it will be satisfactory, have not read a reply yet. It was my expectation when I came home, to have gone to Roanoke College this session with the intention of taking a thorough course, but have since changed my mind, and it is now my intention to remain at home. I have been hard at work since I came home, particularly today, I am so nervous I can scarecely write. I expect to be very busy this fall and winter, am afrais I will not find much time to visit. I have seen Miss Jennie several times since I came home, but have not had time to have much

conversation with her. I have said nothing to her in regard to taking a visit to your neigh borhood, as I don&rsquo;t think I could possibly go for some time yet, though it is my intention to be at Presbytery, a day or two if possible But to your letter, in the first place Geo W. has changed his mind in regard to getting married. He is now talking very seriously of going West, this Fall. The &ldquo;one person in particular that I wished to see married&rdquo; you are slightly acquainted with, will give you the particulars when I see you. It is not Miss Jennie. I don&rsquo;t think there is a probability of her being married very soon. I don&rsquo;t believe now that it is at all probable, we will have a wedding in our

neighborhood this winter, really, I don&rsquo;t wish to see any of my most intimate friends married, for they are completely lost to society. Did I not feel that I am so well acquainted with you, and know that it is not your disposition, I would think that a couple of sentences in your letter was intended to wound my feelings, but I cannot believe this was your intention. You say &ldquo;you think that I am a friend of yours, or that I once was, and you are sure you never gave me any reason to be an enemy, and that you and the rest of the family, have never mistreated me.&rdquo; I agree with you perfectly, but have I ever even intimated to you, or any one else that you did? I have not neither have I ever thought any such thing. In regard to your photograph, I wish to have it, for the same reasons, that I wish to have pictures of other friends, and would appreciate it very highly, but if you are not willing that I should have it, of course I would not want it

I saw Miss Jennie the evening before I went to Pres bytery, would have taken her up with me, but had no way of doing so, have not seen her since I came home. It was my expectation to have seen you at Presbytery, and have some conversa- tion with you, but was disappointed. I intended going up on Friday, but did not go on account of unfavorable weather Saturday. I went through Staunton and spent some time there, and got to Bethel that evening afte

a great many persons had left, and on Sunday I met with so many old acquaintences that I could find no time to talk to any of them. I hope in a month of so, I will have a little leisure time, which I will spend in visiting. Miss Jennie told me the last time I saw her that she was very anxious to see Miss Gertie and yourself and would go with me this fall if possible. In regard to the remark you heard that I made about some member of the family I hardly know what to say, because I have not the least idea what it is, and as you &ldquo;do not wish to put it in black and white again,&rdquo; of course

I will not insist. One thing however I can truly say &ndash; I have never spoken a harmful word of any member of the family. I have always been treated with the greatest kindness, and respect by every member of the family, and in return, I say truly, I am and ever expect to be, a true friend to every member of the family, and it would be a pleasure to me to know that I was considered as such by them. It is true that &ldquo;we scarecely get to see each other.&rdquo; It has been the case in the last year, and I admit that this has been my fault. No doubt each one of us has placed misconstructions[?] on what the other has written. The time for all this I hope is past, and we shall in future

You say &ldquo;you make a bargain with all your friends who get them, to give you theirs in return.&rdquo; Do you wish to make the same bargain with me? If os, of course you shall be gratified. I infer that this is your wish, from your letter, but would much rather you had been candid enough to have said so. Pardon me for speaking so plainly, you know it is natural for me to do so.

Sept 27th 1864 Dear Phebe, A short time after I had written the letter enclosed in this, our wagon train com- menced moving, and when they got near Swift Run Gap I concluded that we were leav- ing The Valley and I went home. I left the command about sun- set, and got home Sabbath Mor ning about day light, and started back in a couple of hours. Rest assured that I was very much disappointed when I got to your Father&rsquo;s Sabbath evening and was told that you were not there. I came to Uncle Mr Heizers and spent the night and the next day (yesterday) yesterday I came across the mountain

At Rockfish Gap and spent the night at Greenwood Depot, on the Central R.R. I was told there that our train was at Meechum&rsquo;s River Depot, and when I got there they told me that our train was at Brown&rsquo;s Gap. I am now within five miles of that place, and get dinner. I expect to get to the command this evening. I found your Father&rsquo;s family all well. Becca gave me some money for you, I thought perhaps I would go to Lynchburg by way of Lexington and probably go by to see you, but I found it would be entirely too far out of my way. I know this letter will be very unsatisfactory. But I will write ina few days again. Please write just as soon as you get this and direct to McClanahan&rsquo;s Battery, Imboden&rsquo;s Brig, Lowax&rsquo;s Division F.

Home, September 15th 1864 Dear Phebe, I will start to camp this morning and will write to you before I leave. I studied a long time whether to go to camp or not, but as my motto is, &ldquo;Duty before pleasure&rdquo;, I concluded to go. I saw a couple of The Battery boys in Staunton Tuesday, who told me that our battery was this side of Winchester, and could do no service until the [?] are repaired. Lieut [?] has been very kind in giving me a leave of absence any time I asked for it, and I don&rsquo;t think I ought to stay away without leave. I met with Cousins Mag and Fannie W., John and Eliza Dempter at Mr Brownlees the day I left your father&rsquo;s, and stayed there til about the middle of the afternoon. and then came down with Mag and Fannie, but did not have itme to call there. I spent the night very pleasantly with Uncle Wm Brown, and the next? day (Tuesday) came home through Staunton. Uncle Wm B. asked a great many questions about all of you, who you were [?], and which one was mine I was not able to tell him of course, but he was here yesterday and Mother to have a joke on me gave him the points. However, he doesn&rsquo;t believe it to be really so, but considers it only a joke. He talks of going to see your father about buying some winder apples of him, and wants mother to

go with him if he goes. It may be that they will be up in a few weeks. Cousins Mag and Fannie W. said they were sorry they could not make it suit to visit you, but they have made arrangements with Eliza Dempster to go some time again. I received a long letter from John yesterday, but principally on business. He gave me no news at all, our forces are still below Winchester, and all quiet except occasional skir- -mishing. I expect to go to see him as soon as I get to camp. He was quite well. I got a very good likeness taken in Staunton last Tuesday which I will leave in Mother&rsquo;s care for you. I had an idea of enclosing it in this, but I know you would prefer having it in a case, and I hope you will have an opportunity of getting it soon. It would have looked much better had my clothes been darker, but the features I think are very good. If any one comes down they can call and get it. I told Mother it was for you, and also that John had given you that book. I found your riding shirt safe in the buggy when I came home. If any one comes down they can get those three things for you. I spend night before last at Mr [?], and to my surprise, found Miss Mattie Cook there. She had a good many funny remarks to make said she would not ask me any questions, for

she did not want to make me tell a story. She said she thought I was perfectly right, for she admired my choice. Don&rsquo;t you feel highly complimented? I think Miss Mattie is a very nice lady, and I find her to be very pleasant company. She wanted me to go back to your neighborhood and see about Henry. She says he is certainly either wounded or captured, and then she thought if she sent me, she would have to come for us both. The likeness I had taken is on [?] Percha plate. By taking it out of the case, you can see what it looks like. If you have one taken you had better have it taken on the same plate. It can be sent in a letter very conveniently. I must close, for I ought to have started before this. I will write again very soon. You will direct as before. Devotedly yours F. My love to all the family

October 8th 1864 My Dear Phebe, I suppose you have got- ten home by this time, and I will write to you again. We are now camped two miles below Mt Crawford, but ex- -pect to get guns in a few days, and then we will go to the front. We all ex pected to remain in the rear a couple weeks, but I suppose we will be disappoin ted. I had expected to a few days ago to have seen you to-night, but we can&rsquo;t possibly get a pass now. Should we fail in getting our guns, I expect to see you in a few days. We have had a very pleas ant time since we have been in the rear. I have been home a couple times, and yesterday, I spent the day in Mt Crawford and the night in Bridgewater, among my friends. I am now a half mile from camp. at a house with a couple very nice ladies. It was so windy that I could not write in

The open air. A very good excuse to get ac- -quainted with the ladies, isnt it? Phebe, you just ought to have seen the dinner we had in camp today, Chicken, potatoes, cabbage, turnips, fresh pork, apple pie [?]. I suppose you wonder where we got it. We did not steal it, or buy it but it was confiscated. Several families in the neighborhood, went away with The Yankees, and left Those Things, and we appropriate them to our own use, as I think we had a right to do. This section of country looks desolate indeed. Nearly all of the barns were burnt by the enemy, and a great many of the houses. I know several families in this neighborhood, who have had all of their grain, meat, and stock taken form them and all their buildings burnt. How they are to live I cannot imagine. I consider that we are very fortunate in not being visited by them. I saw two stages going down the pike today, and I noticed two large mail bags full, on one of them. I think certainly I will get a letter shortly. It seems to me a long time since I got a letter. I mailed a letter for you at Meechum&rsquo;s River Depot, directed to Mary&rsquo;sville. Did you receive it? I have neither seen or heard from John, for about a

The enemy are still falling back, and our forees[?] pursuing. The news today from other quarters is very cheering and I sincerely hope the enemy may soon be defeated in the Valley. I have no other news, of importance, to com municate, and I will close for for the present. Remember me kindly to all the family. I remain as ever Your devoted F&#8230;.

Stone Oct 20th/66 My Dear Friend, Your very welcome letter came to hand last Thurs day, too late for me to see you in Staunton, and I am sorry such. was the case, for had I known it in time, I would have met you in Staunton. I rec&rsquo;d three very inter- esting letters Thursday, one from Miss Gertie, one from Jimmie Calhoon and one from yourself. One of them contained a very nice photograph, just as much like the original as can be, I think if those taken sitting are much more like you, they would certainly &ldquo;talk and laugh&rdquo;.

my thanks for it, and rest assured it is highly appreciated I will, if I can, get George to print me one of the sittin gones, as you think they are so much the best. We are to have a wedding in our neighborhood in a short time, and who do you think is to be married? Cousin John Wilson, and Miss Rachel Stanger, but I have to tell you of one in which (report says) I am more interested. My sweetheart (so-called) is to be married to another &ldquo;Mann&rdquo; next Tuesday. I don&rsquo;t think she &ldquo;[?] to have did so&rdquo;, do you? And then she wrote to me informing me of the sad fact as unconcerned as though she did not know she had done any harm. The idea of Miss Jennie Wheeler changing her name to Miss Jennie Mann, it is perfectly ridiculous.

Her sister Miss Nelia is to be married the same day. Well, don&rsquo;t you symapthize with me? yes, I know you do. You cant guess who was at &ldquo;our house&rdquo; last Thursday. Mrs and Miss Stover. Miss Jennie and I had a great time hunting chestnuts, and grapes, sincerely wish you had been with us. Miss Jennie brough up those letters for me from the office for me. I delivered your messages to Miss Jennie, but she has gotten a very good photograph of yours from Geo Wilson. I expect to go to Staunton with Miss Jennie next Tuesday when she expects to have some taken, and one will be for you of course. I am sorry that it does not suit me at all to have any pictures taken now. My reason I think is a very good

one. I have not shaved for several weeks, and I want my whiskers to grow out, as I don&rsquo;t think a picture would look at all natural without, and when I do have them taken, I want good ones. This is Saturday night and I have concluded not to finish this until I return from Staunton, so good night. Monday night October 22nd. I have concluded to finish this tonight, and mail it tomorrow in Staunton, as you requested me to write very soon. Miss Gertie wrote to me that she ex- pected to start to Missouri next month, and I have just been speaking to Mother about going up with me to see her the last of this week, and we have con cluded to go Friday. If we had knew that you would be home before Miss Gertie starts, we would defer our visit until your return, as Mother wanted to see you when she did go to the neighborhood, but as there is some uncertainty about

your getting home in time we have concluded to go this week. Father and Mother however expect to pay you all a visit some time this fall or winter. Cousin George spent last night with me, and told me that &ldquo;he expected to find out when you would be in Staunton, on your road home&rdquo;. Wonder how he ex pected to find out, do you know? He gave me a very good Photograph of yours, one in a sitting position, but I am better pleased with the one you sent me, so I gave the other one to

Mother. If you can let me know exactly when you will be in Staunton on your road home, I will meet you there, if possible. You did not say anything in your letter about George calling on you, it makes no difference however as I found out from another source. There has been consierable change made in our home affairs lately, and probably will be some greater changes made before long. Father has sold a portion of his Churchville [?], and traded off part of the remain der for Mr Maddells property in

Phebe, I am sorry indeed that I cannot comply with your request now in regard to my picture. Really, I think my reason is a very good one. I have promised several but cannot furnish them now. You certainly will get one as soon as I have them taken, and the best, if there is any difference. Hoping to hear from you very soon, I am as ever your friend Frank

Home Oct 20th 1864 Dear Phebe I have no doubt you will be surprised to find that I am at home so soon again. I took a severe cold last week after I got to camp, which settled in my eyes, and last Monday I was totally blind in my right eye, and my left one was very little better. Lieut Johnson commanding the Co, gave me a leave of absence and advised me to come home, and remain until they got well. Of course I took his advice. I got home Monday night about midnight. Dr. Jones in Bridgewater told me there was great danger of losing my right eye entirely unless I took very nice care of it. They are not well yet, but a great deal better. I am suffering very much with pain in my head, breast and side. I am afraid of taking pneumonia, I intend returning to camp Monday, if I am well enough. If you receive this in time to mail a letter for me Saturday I can get it before I go to camp. I have not yet received a letter that has been mailed for me since I was at Presbytery. I suppose they are at [?] headquarters, but we have had no opportunity of getting them. We are still camped near Bridgewater, where I suppose we will remain a couple of weeks. How did you enjoy your visit to our neighborhood? Not very well I know. By the way, I am getting very jealous of Cousin Joe. How are you pleased with the appearance of my

friend Miss Mollie? Did Joe have anything to say about me? Just as I was leaving camp, one evening last week to go to a party in Bridgewater, Lieut B. says, &ldquo;Frank you certainly must be courting some lady in Bridgewater. Well I intend informing somebody on you&rdquo; I asked him who it was. &ldquo;You know who it is, some lady near Greenville. Lieut [?] then made some inquiry, and Lieut B told him all about his visit Jc. He then proposed to me to go up with him sometime. I told him I would go. He said then if we were passing he would like to call, but to ride all the way up, you would certainly think he had some serious intentions. Well, he certainly has some serious intentions or else he feels a deep interest in my welfare, for he has tried several times to get me to make some acknowledgements, but he has failed. Father received a letter form John yesterday, dated, Sperryville Rappahannock Co. Oct 18th. He was quite well. They have been marching very hard for a couple of weeks, but were quiet in camp when he wrote. I shall have to close to get this mailed in time. I have no news. Yes, I almost forgot to inform you of the death of Mrs Bear[?] Miss Betties mother. She was buried last Sabbath. I feel sorry indeed for Miss Bettie. She will be very lonely. There is no white person there at all except her Father. Give me a full account of your trip when you write [?] are all well except myself. My warmest regards to all. I remain as ever Your devoted

Friday night November 30th/66 My Dear Friend, I rec&rsquo;d your letter yesterday, and for several reasons will answer to-night. I have fitted up a room for myself this winter, apart from the rest of the family, and just moved in it this evening. I have it fixed up very comfortable, and have but one objection to it, and that is, that it looks so old-bachelor like. I have, for the last two hours been looking over my old school-books, Latin, Greek, and French except the a half hour spent in meditating and in that short space of mind time, many things that have occurred during my life, has quickly passed over my mind. This reverie, in which I have to-night in- dulged was produced, in part by reading your letter, and partly by happening to think that this day, one week ago, was my birthday, yes, 25 years of my life is gone, and what have I accomplised? It has been a perfect blank. But I will not longer reflect on a subject, which only produces sadness. I find in your letter this sentence &ndash; &ldquo;There was something bearing on my mind, when I last wrote to you, and, I often feel sad from the same cause.&rdquo; As it only concerns yourself, and one other, of course I have a curiousity to know what it is, but more particularly, who it is. I don&rsquo;t suppose that I am the person of whom you speak. You say &ldquo;if you knew that he would answer two or three questions, the secret should be his, and you would feel relieved.&rdquo; Here is a mystery to me, why you do not ask him those questions. If I am that

person, (which I don&rsquo;t suppose I am) I would certainly consider it a duty, and pleasure to answer any questions you might think proper to ask me. If I am not the person, of course, you have no right to tell me anything about it, unless you do so of your own free will, and in this case, if it was in my power in any way to favor you, it would certainly a pleasure for me to do so. I was only joking, in pretending to understand it, for it is an inpenetrable mystery to me. Cousin Sallie Heizer wrote to me to meet her at Hebron next Sabbath, and she would come down with me. I don&rsquo;t know how long she wishes to stay, but I want to visit your neighborhood the last of next week, If I can, or the first of the week following. If I do not go then, I don&rsquo;t want to go for seve ral weeks, as it will not suit me to be out of the neighborhood the last of next month (December) for reasons, which you will probably surmise, Suppose you rmember what I told you in Staunton. Please say &ldquo;nary word&rdquo; to any one about it, I hope however to see you before that time, and I will give you a full history. You are the only one that I have mentioned it to at all, although I have been &ldquo;quizzed&rdquo; very closely. I rec&rsquo;d a letter from Miss Gertie some time ago. She wrote to me that she expected to come to Staunton last week, and if she did, she was coming out to see me, but I have not seen or heard from her since. If I take Cousin Sallie home I will go up in the carriage, and if I find out that she is at home, I will take you down to see her, if you will go. By the way, I cant ride about in a buggy or carriage by myself, and if I can make it suit I will bring

Cousin Melissa B over to see you, and the next day we will all to go see Gertie. What do you think of the arrangement? Try and find out if she is at home, and write as soon as you receive this, if you can, so I can get it the last of next week, or the first of the week following, if I do not go up next week. I went to singing at Hebron last Saturday, got there just in time to get a nice dinner, had a very nice time, went to John Wright&rsquo;s that night, and as usual enjoyed myself finely. It is one of the most pleasant places I ever visited. The whole family do every thing in their power to entertain you. I consider Cousin John one of the most worthy young men of my acquaintance. Do you know at what time Mr. Meller[?] and Cousin Mary B. will be married? I don&rsquo;t want to happen in at that time. When you reflect that all(?) of your friends are going to marry, and leave you, console yourself that I, as well as some others are in the same condition I think you will have plenty of company. Joe Wilson rec&rsquo;d a letter from George yesterday, he got out to Lewisburg safe, had rented two rooms, and taken a few pictures, and had a prospect of getting just as much as he could from another source. No doubt of it at all. Mr Burdett says he is deeper in love than any fellow he ever saw, wonder who with, do you know? &ldquo;Rather speck&rdquo; you do. It is all &ldquo;time all honest persons were in bed.&rdquo;, so for to-night I will close. Goodnight, and pleasant dreams. Saturday night Dec 1st I have heard some news this evening which will be sad news to you, as well as myself. Miss Mattie Cook is at

Mr Lindseys near Parnassas[?] and has diptheria very badly, not expected to live at all. I regard Miss Mattie one of my very best friends, and I am sorry indeed to hear of her illness. One of Mr Lindseys children died yesterday of dip theria, and was buried to-day, and one or two others are quite sick. Miss Josie Glosbrenner spent the day here to-day, but I was so very busy I could find but little time to enjoy her company. She told me if I wanted to be at her wedding, I would have to be more sociable in future than I have been in the past, and call and see her occasionally. She is lonely, I know and I know how to sympathize with her, but oh how much worse it will be with me in a few weeks. I really don&rsquo;t know what I will do with myself. I have not seen Jennie S for several weeks to have any conversation with her. The last time I saw her, I remarked that I had not seen her for some time, and her reply was, &ldquo;well it is certainly your own fault.&rdquo; This caused me to reflect that I could see her anytime, and I think I will call more frequently to pass away some of my lonely hours (such as would otherwise be lonely.) I will not finish this until Monday, as I hope by that time to know when I will be in your neighborhood. Sunday evening, well I went to church to-day, met with Cousin S. and she came with us. I don&rsquo;t know when she will want to go home, but I will go with her when she goes, Saturday next, very probable. I heard to-day at church that Miss Mattie is improving, hope she may recover. My love to all. As ever, your friend Frank

Home, November 3rd/66 My Worthy Friend, I had concluded to defer writing to you until father and mother returned, but John is busy writing to-night, and you know Fannie doesn&rsquo;t talk any, consequent ly I am lonely, and can not think of any way of passing the time, either more pleasantly or profitably, pleasantly, because you have assured me that my letters are appreciated, and it is a pleasure to me to gratify you, and profitably because I always receive, a prompt lengthy, and interesting reply. As I sit here to-night, only three of us together, the question naturally recurs to my mind, &ldquo;what is home

without a Mother?&rdquo; Could I speak to her to-night or send a message I would say &ldquo;Linger not long, home is not home without thee.&rdquo; It is some thing so unusual for Mother to be from home, that is really does not seem like home at all, but I shall look for them tomorrow (Wedns day) night. I could almost imagine I could see you all last Saturday night, and I sincerely wished that I was one of the number, but it could not be. Suppose Cousin George, and yourself had a &ldquo;noisy&rdquo; time. Ha! Ha! He told me coming home from Staunton that &ldquo;I treated him wretchedly, would not give him an opportunity of putting in a word edgewise.&rdquo; I apologized of course, bu he said &ldquo;it doesn&rsquo;t make any difference, I am going to see her by myself next Saturday, told her so too.&rdquo;

Well, this is Saturday Tuesday night, and he has not returned yet. I am sorry that he is going so far out of the neighborhood, I don&rsquo;t know what is to become of him. Well the 10th is past, and [?] I suppose is gone. That remark certainly excited my curiousity. &ldquo;I acknowledge the corn&rdquo; That in connection with somethings con- tained in your last letter, but of course I have no right to ask, or expect you to you give an explanation, as you have &ldquo;formed the resolution to be your own secret keeper.&rdquo; &ldquo;Time proves all things&rdquo; I think I have an idea how to construe those remarks, as I am pretty good at guessing. What prospect have you of a joyous Christmas, in that part of the world?

Any weddings to come off about that time that you know of? By the way, there will be another in Ch&rsquo;ville next Thursday. Miss Mollie Hildebrand and Mr Goddin of Beverly. It is allso the opinion of some persons that Newt Wilson, and Miss Selie Dudley will be married this winter, and what do you think I heard yesterday? I heard that Mr Frank Heizer and Miss Jennie Stover would be married very soon, if not sooner, but I knew there was no turht in the report, as soon as I heard it, it is, however, believed by some persons. We are going to have a fair, and supper, at Churchville Christmas don&rsquo;t you think? Now if you want to have a pleasant Christmas, make it suit to be in our neighborhood at that time. It is half past ten; time all honest folks were in bed. I will finish some other time, so Good night

Received Nov 25th 1864 Home November 22nd 1864 Dear Phebe Your long looked for letter came to hand last Friday, and I assure you, I penned its contents with a great deal of pleasure, for it seems to me a long time since I received a letter from you, perhaps longer than it really is, and it is very reasonable to suppose that you look for a letter from me with much more anxiety, as I have been exposed to dangers and hardships of various kinds all summer until the last couple of months. I hope this will teach me to be more punctual my- self. We are still camped near Churchville, where we were when Becca was down. Lieut B got me to bring his horse home with me, and keep it a few days, as our horses are suffering where we are. We are expecting orders to move every day, to some place where we can [?]

forage. Lieut McNulty thinks we will probably go to Roanoke, and put up winter quarters. It is not likely that we will do any more service this winter, if we remain in Va, but I would not be at all surprised if we would be sent South. Guns have not been furnished us yet. I think we will all like Lieut McNulty very well. He is in favor of disbanding all of us This winter that can get home, but I don&rsquo;t suppose Gen Lomax would approve it, as he is a very abstinate man. It seems that Lieut McNulty cannot get any order from him whatever, he is almost constantly under the influence of liquor. Wednesday morning, Nov 23rd Capt Riley came in yesterday evening

and interrupted me, and I will finish this morn. I want to go to camp to-day and see if we have gotten any orders about leaving. Should we move up the Valley, it is likely that I will call and spend a night at your Fathers, and if I am I will let you know what night I will be there. I would have liked very much to have spent a couple of days in your neighborhood during the meeting. I have a great desire to he hear Mr McElvee. I would have been very happy to have met with Mr Echard, I understand he is a particular friend of mine. Did you receive a letter from me a few weeks ago, with a letter enclosed in it? And did you receive one dated about

the 15th of Nov. That is the last one I wrote, I did not send that &ldquo;something&rdquo; in it. To make the matter short, did you not receive a letter a short time ago containing a present for you? I have been led to believe that some one sent it in my name. A certain person told me that he saw it, and it come from my company. Present my warmest regards to The family. Devotedly yours
