Smiths Crofs Roads Nov 2nd 1863 My dear Sister I wrote to father yesterday, but as I have a good opportunity to send a letter to Nashville by Johnnie Leet who had had the good luck through some influential friends, to be detailed into the mail department at that place. I am not going to mifs so good a chance to let them hear from me at home. We have been camped here nearly 2 weeks. and are just more than living on the fat of the land.
