Parsonage Mar 4th 1862
Dear William
I send Charles for some more bran. Let
him have as much as he may be able to carry in the present
state of the roads. I will have to trouble you again for the loan
of some bags, as I have only four.--
I would like for you to send me a good load of shucks
as soon as you can conveniently.--
I only got home to-day.--I saw yesterday's Dispatch
last night.--A number of citizens in Richmond have been ar-
rested on charge of conspiracy against the C.S., amongst
others Jno M Botts & Mr Stearns the Distiller
A letter from my Brother William brings me the sad news
of the serious illness of my mother. If I do not hear by Thurs-
day morning's mail that she is better, I expect to go up that
evening by the Packet.
I hope Bettie still continues to improve. Cornelia
& Cabell are quite well.
Yours truly
T. F. Martin
P.S. I expect (D V) to preach here to-morrow (Ash Wednesday)
addressed to:
Wm D Cabell Esqr
