1861 October 20

[conclusion to the letter of E.T.H. Warren]

Sunday morning Last night the wind
took a foray for a sin & this morning
it is too cool to be entirely pleasant...
I certainly look for a letter from you
to day not one word yet from you since
I left you looking so [tired or timid] in the
cars at the Junction Write often &
tell me all about yourself. Every body
& every thing. [Col. Simeon B.] Gibbons is sick still but
Refuses to Report Sick and I am determined
not to do a thing until he does report sick
I am not going to discharge the duties of Lt.
Col. both at the same time.
Give love to all & kiss the babies

Affectionately

E. T. H. Warren

[Lt. Colonel, 10th Virginia Infantry]
MSS 7786-g
