June 26-July 2
At church and hear Mr. Latane....Monday say goodbye to Sam. He hopes to get off to Illinois this time. We hear
from Dave he is in Shelby Springs and is with Sally and is sick. Uncle Bob calls Thursday morning; tells me
Gandy Lewis was killed near Petersburg, on the 26th of June I think, while acting as a sharp shooter. Captain
Gibbs also falls in battle last week. Such hot dry weather. A hard season on the crops and so much depending
on them. Write a long letter to Sally and Jabe. Hear from Sam when he got to Staunton. His Regiment is at the
Warm Springs ....
