My dear wife

Tom left for Manassas Wednesday morning. He took the turkey and all.

Nan and Lewis and the general were here. Now returns to Bowling Green this morning. Lewis went this morning to Norfolk. Jack came up from York River yesterday. He returns tomorrow.

The hoop skirts cost $6.00 -[Bill] waits further orders before giving $12.00 for the two.

Miss Fanny Perkins left the day I arrived. She went down to Norfolk Wednesday morning with the General's check in her corset and the other "preciouses' behind the photographsin her album.

How are my sick? All still mending I hope. Kisses to everyone.

Yr. affectionate, M.F. Maury
