Madam.

          Your note of 29^th July was handed me this morning. Absence at the front will account for my not receiving it earlier.

                       

Lt. DeKay spoke to me a few days since in relation to the trunk of clothing to be sent to your bother in Richmond. If you will forward it to me at this place I will see that it is placed on the put on the first flag of truce boat leaving.

                                                                                   

With much respect

Your obdt servant
