My darling wifey
This place at which we are temporarily
located is about two miles below Fort Grafton.
we came here Sunday evening and are expecting
to move back every day--I dont know for what
we came here--I received your letter of the 28th
ult: and also one from your mother yesterday.
You wrote before you had received two from me
which I hope you have received before this. I
mentioned in one of them that we had not gone
to Newport News and didn't expect that we
would--In the other I mentioned that I would be
glad to get the clerkship in the war department,
but as you said nothing about it in your last
I suppose it has been disposed of.
With regard to the contents of your mother's letter, I
will say that I consider the will which you have
and I have no doubt that every member of my family
will also, to cover the whole ground and more
than your mother asked--but to satisfy her
I enclose you my last will and testament--
the writing of it has caused me some sad
feelings but I hope it will satisfy you.
God bless you write soon to your devoted
Husband
