            Dear Cousin

                                    I received your letter with Wills Photoes they look very well I am very much Oblige to you for [?] you must excuse me for not sending the money since I have not had time to write I judge you have heard the sad report about Bertha Dennis husband we dont know weather it is true or not the report is the rebels ordered his men to point out their head man they did so and the rebels shot seven bullets through his body. I hope it is not true. I will enclose 2.00 dollars for those pictures we are all well except cold hope these few lines will find you all well give my love to enquiring friends and a great share for yourself
