Dear Mother
I am here and in verry good Health. hope all there the same. on
Saturday I a_____ to leave for Hiwassie Bridge,all right. would be glad to
see you all but I cannot now hope to soon. I rec'd a letter from Lizzie on
yesterday. all well. informing me that Russ & Frank had both left. I have
watched closely for them. If I find them the only thing I can do with them
is to turn them over to the authorities. and get a r__pt for them. I have
no power to send them home. I am of the opinion they will not come here,
they will stay some where in Sevier Co. Where Smiths Boys are. If you can
see Alex send him down there and look after them If you can. hear nothing of
them, dont fret. I would not give one hours good sleep for every Negro in
the south. I am satisfied the thing is gone up the spout.
I can say I am in good health and fine ____ its, would like to have come
around among you. but I failed. you must take the will for the act. I
would have went home but knew that Lizzie was gone to see you. I send a
letter for her. I want you to fail not in sending it to her. I would like
to know where Will is how he is. and what he is yet doing. I cant think but
that we will soon be back in our own country.
I think that will be so yet I may be mistaken. I think of nothing more to
write to you. If you can have a chance to write to me direct to Capt A W
Walker. 8th Tenn Vols. Inft. as there is two 8th one cavalry the other
Infantry. nothing more
Your Son
