My dear Son
I have Anna’s
Birth: 1834-03-29 Death: 1919-05-02
letter saying she has
gone to Albany &
will write to her
there– You must
all be lonely without
her– Fanny
Birth: 1844-12-09 Death: 1866-10-29
had
a letter from Father
Birth: 1801-05-16 Death: 1872-10-10
which she will answer–
Tell Gus
Birth: 1826-10-01 Death: 1876-09-11
he must write to his mother–
Frances
Birth: 1826-12-12 Death: 1909-08-24
& her family
Birth: 1854-02-13
Death: 1931-05-23
Birth: 1822-02-03
Death: 1888-11-24
are all at Pisgah–
Henry came last evening–
Will
Birth: 1839-06-18 Death: 1920-04-29
is beginning to walk a little without his
crutch though his
foot is too much
swollen to allow him
to wear a boot–
You seem to be near
an engagement– The
account of that at
Edwards Ferry is
rather disheartening–
Our new Regiment is
nearly full– Has been
in camp a week–
I am troubled to know
how sufficient supplies
can reach Washington
without the use of
the Potomac–
I have written to Mrs
Masse
Birth: 1828
that I shall be in Philadelphia
the last of November
with Fanny– further
than that I make
no calculation– though
of course I intend
going to Washington–
I want very much
to know just how
you all are– Is
your father as well
as when I left?
Give my love to him
& Augustus–
God preserve you all
Mother–
