My Dear Sister. As I have nothing policular at hands to day I shall write you a fiew lines to inform you that I am well at preasant The rest of the Boys are all well I believe. I recieved your letter the other day and answered it. But as I have some things that I want to send you I shall write again. Lieut Kiersey went up to Murfreesboro and some of the ladies of that city gave him some roots of a very nise flower and he wanted Mr Dorsey to take them home for him but he had so / mutch to take that he could not take them So I will send you a piece of the roots in a letter. I expect that they will be so dry again they get there that they will dy. But it wont cost mutch. Kirsey said the naime of it was the golden candel stick. it blooms every month in the year hear, and is a very pretty thing
