1861 August 19 Camp Barton near Manassas

Dear Murphy

I saw the Pay Mas-
ter Maj Field a few days since--
He told me that the State of Va were
to pay you till till[sic] June 30th and af-
ter that time you were to be paid
by the Confederate States--he says
he will be here in about ten days
and will then pay you up till
30th June. The other must be paid
by the Confederacy--you are
entitled to $90.00 a month in-
stead of $80.00 as I made out
your pay account I will attend
to yours when Maj. Field returns
Remember me kindly to all the
Family.

Your friend
Pelham
