Dear Mary

Yours of the 4th with the boy's reports
I have just recd--I have recd no letter since Nephs
of February 18th --I think it strange the chks should
not have reached you--it was give by James
Maurice on the bank of Va No. 1314--write to the
Cashier about it-- I send you a chk for $100--
one hundred on the Farmers Bank of Va I can
not say when I shall be able to send any more-
but as fast as I can get it, I will send it to the fam
-ily-- I am very tired, have been going all day-
and at 2 a.m.--4 hours from this time will start
to meet Genl McLaws to visit a point, where we can
see the Virginia (Merrimac) & other ships attack the ships
off Newport News--Many Kisses for my dear children
Love to all--
Your husband C.St.G. Noland
