George Killian was married last week to Miss Sallie Anderson; they had a nice time of it. I do not know of any one else who is going to get married shortly unless it might be Davy, but I hardly think he would get married as long as this war lasts.

I think you would have a good time; you could be at home the most of the time. If you can get the position, I would like to see you come over.

I feel tired but will lay to write a short letter at least every evening I tell Billy to enquire for a letter for me, yet I have a right to expect one from you having promised to write to you so frequent and not performing. Aunt Ann and Lallie got home last Sunday. They are very well and getting along very well. Barbara wished them to stay two weeks longer but Mrs. Will did not want them to stay. I was down at home Tuesday evening. Mrs. Will was putting up a box of good things for Mr. Will. They had potatoes, apples, roasted chicken, fried chicken, bread, fries, and some half bushel of real old time ginger cakes, such as old Aunt Ginnie use to bake. Mrs. Will treated me to four. I wish you could have been here for cade is something seldom been there days. They use the foam that gathers on the molasses whilst it is cooling which makes a rich and nice cake and persons are using it about here. Mr. Leavers has made several hundred gallons of molasses and they are not done boiling yet. Sarah says if she thought you would like to have it she would buy four or 5 gallons for you. They sell it at $8 a gallon but to wait there would perhaps be no chance of getting any and price may also advance; would you like to have some? The salt arrived here safely. They have not got their pork yet and I think it fortunate as this warm weather has set in.","The folks here are tolerable with little Emma is threatened with croup this evening. She still talks of you at times as being at grandfather Rodeses.  Billy has been unwell for a week on too but is better for a few days and passed through he looks thin, and badly. He and Mr. Strayer went fishing today, but did not catch any fish. This is the second days fishing Mr. S has had this week without getting any, but he seems in good spirits and speaks of going again. Mr. O, Miss Janine and the rest of us are very well. I feel very tired. I have been boiling soap today.  ","I regret very much to tell you that John Reid, Bob Tidler, and John Millan were captured by the Yankees. They were sent out on a scout by Capt. Nelson and I suppose ventured too far, it is reported that they were captured beyond Winchester near or at Woods factory. Their have been so many different rumors about them one scarcely knew what to believe. One day report would be they were captured and another day they were not but I believe it is now confirmed. I feel very sorry for Mrs. Reid they say she is almost inconsolable. I have not seen Miss Bettie for some time she was out at Rosenbergers whilst Sallie was their. she spoke of having had a nice time. I have not heard from your friend Miss Emma except through Mrs. Miller. I always inquire about her she says Emm gets along very well complains of nothing but the cooking which is so different from what it is here.
