1862 May 4 Pequoson Flats, Virginia

Pequosin Flatts Va. May 4th/62

Dear parents
I have received
two letters from you since I
wrote one yesterday bearing date of
April 28 one to day of April 21st. I
was glad to get them although one
was some time coming. I have not
heard from Mark or Charles I wrote
to Mary Jane and asked her if
she new where they were and if she
knows I shall hear from them
It is all wright about the money
I intended to send in the letter
but got a chance to send it with
the officers by express.  I think I
wrote to you that Israel had
returned and is now with us
I hope you will not let Walter do
to much I am glad he is willing
to do what he can but he is young

[page 2]
try and encourage him so he
may not be lonesome.  I
think my bump of caution
is large enough to carry me
safely through all troubles
You need not bother with the Me
laws for I have seen them. The
Adjtant Gen from Me. has been here
to visit us he is a fine man I think.
I was glad to hear the good news
from home and I hope you will
have good health so you not
be obliged to hire frank a great
deal but you will need his help
some and I am glad you can get
him we are about mooving to
some other place as soon as we
get there I will write some more

[letter of Hiram Cash will continue on May 5]
