Daniel W. Partin Jr. to Sarah Britton, 21 June 1862
Chesterfield  City Va , June 21 1862
 
Dear Cousin
                              I received
your letter before I went
From Petersburg but will not
have the time to answer
it  and since I have been
At home and neglected it
until now    so this evening
I thought  I would write
Before I went back as I
was going Tuesday.   I have
been home a fortnight to
morrow.   I was in the
Battle that was fought
    Tomorrow three weeks
But did not get a
scratch   two balls struck
my gun   there was three
killed in our Company
Davy Morrel, W. Grunnally
And Lieut Adkins   and
General wounded.   I have
Been very sick but well
now       When you write
Direct your letter to
Richmond.   I herd that
Cous Richard was sick and
In the hospital at Richmond
Moms and Swittie sends
Their love to you all and
Says you must come soon no more
     Daniel W. Pantine, Jr
