1861 June 10 Belmont [Albemarle County, Va.]

Dear Sir [General John Hartwell Cocke]

When I was at school at your
home you had a Mexican or Texian
saddle tree which the boys used to
ride. I write to know if you have
the tree now if so will you part with
it & what will you take for it. I am
going to go into service and cant get
a saddle of the kind in this county
you will please address me at
Carters Bridge P.O Alb. Co Va.
Let me hear from you as soon as
convenient as I expect to leave home
next week

Yours Resptly
W. Clarke Timberlake

PS. I direct to you or the Dr thinking you
might be from home & he could give me
the necessary information. If you have
the tee & will part with it send it
Scotsville care of J. R. Staton & send
Bill by mail yours
