1862 November 28 Camp near Fredericksburg, Va.

                                      Camp near
      Fredericksburg, Novr 28th /1862
Dear Bill
              I wrote you from Gordonsville
& from beyond the Rapidan but the last
letter I recd from you was dated Octr 31st
I suppose you have written others but I
have not yet got them.  I send by Dr Farley
four hundred dollars to be deposited in the
Farmers Bank at Richmond to your credit
I do not know that you need it--if not
keep it-or let Lizzie use as much of it
as she may require, if she does require
any----.  We are now before Fredericksburg
waiting- like Micawber- for something
to turn up in the fighting way-but for
my part I hope the Yankes will let us
rest this winter--it is getting downright
cold-what about my clothing?  i have
written you long letters on the subject
did you get them.  Direct your letters
to Toombs Brigade--Hoods Division--it used
to  be Whitings--Love to all--in haste
                        Your affectionate
                            Brother
                               W B Gregory
P.S. I send $380--not
four hundred as above
             WBG

William B. Gregory, Surgeon in the 2nd Alabama Volunteers
