safe arrival in this place, found all well
and glad to see me.
I have nothing of importance to communicate
the times seem hard, money scarce, but not
quite so bad as in Greenbrier for here you can
get plenty to eat for the money—and at rather
reasonable prices. I see by the paper this
morning that Cook has been convicted —
Stevens has been handed over to the
U.S authority
and will doubtless be tried in Staunton.
There is considable excitement ment here in
reference to this insurrection. Many persons
are selling, and sending their negros to
the South.
My kindest raguards to your Mother & Sister
I have no news to give you. I read none
I thought I would write you a line to let
you know of my safe arrival — Love to —
