| Content Description | Explains his delay in writing to him because of the comment in his last letter home that "you thought no one with a spank of loyalty in them could support General McClellan..." Responds "I think as much of my country as anyone." Reports the crops have been threshed resulting in 188 bushels of wheat and 147 bushels of oats. Says he won't sell the wheat yet because the price is one dollar fifty cents per bushel and he thinks it will go higher. Envelope includes a three cent stamp. |
