Dear Mother Mrs. Hall arrived here yesterday, and as Edward has been removed from here to the hospital in Nashville. She is going back there this morning. Johnny was greatly surprised at noon, when one of two bothers returned from town, and told him he has meant his mother. Him and I meant them immediately after dinner, and met her stopping Mrs. Hosmer and [Tinkham?], more ladies from Chicago who are down here [illegible]. She delivered quite a number of items some from you and a letter from Sarah. You sent me $5, and some postage stamps. I don't know whether I forgot to mention that I received your letter a short time ago. Containing $1 worth of stamps, which leaves me [unknown word] a pretty good stock of stamps, money, and paper.
