Lieut. G. L. Paschall Died on the 18th day of Augst. of the Camp Fever. He was sick only a very short time and I regret his death very much for he was more help to me than anyone elce accept Duncan. We will have to elect another Lieut in a few days my helth is improving considerable and Jonathan and Henry is getting in better helth. Marcellus & Duncan is in good Helth." I have now news of any importance to wright to you only that it is reported that thare has been another fight up in the Vally between our army and the armv under Pope and that Jackson is drawing the army towards Washington and sending in prisners evrry day which is very good evidence that we are gitting the best of the fight. Nerly all of the troups have been sent from Richmond to Reinforse Jackson in the Vally and it is that that our army will march into Meriland and probably take Washington the people are making great calculations on the fight that is now pending we have now about two hundred thousand thousand men in the vally and the last news reports the northern army retreating and our harrasing them in the Rear." I have never Recvd a single letter from you by male I recv. one by Archa Roane and 2 by the Wilkins boys in which you stated that you did not want [Buford] to have any Controll over you nor anything you had and I want you tell him that if he cant do anything as you want it done not to interfere with your bussiness and that I want him to pay you for the horse if he has traded him off for he has no wright to have sold him for he promusud to take him and keep him for me and put him in order in the fall But I suppose that he found that he could make something on him for himself that he would take him I would much rather he had not have sold him for I bileave that if he was put in order that he would have brot me more money and I dont think that a brother ought to speculate on the property of another that is in the army and be permited to stay at home and take care of his family But Buford dont car who he makes money off ore sow he can make it Just tell him to please let the ballance of my stuff alone and I want you to [tell] Isaac to attend to anything that You may want done that you cant do yourself I think he will be the most suitable person that you can get Tell Isaac that I want him to assist you in any way that he can I want you to try and git up all the hogs that you think is suitable for killing hogs and have them fattened and get Isaac to make arrangements for salt if he can but do not be in a hurry about salt for that purpose for it may come down by fall and I think that I probably may get to come home this fall but it is not certain but I intend to try I want you to wright often and tell me all the news you can wright to me often and wright plain Tell Isaac to wright to me I have not received any letters from any one about [?] but what I have recvd from you I want all my friends to wright to me tell Pop & Mother that I want them to wright to me Give My love to them and to all the rest of the connexion and tell them to wright to me for I could recieve a letter from any of them with pleasure write as soon as you get this and tell me all about the children in perticular you cant tell how bad I want to see you and the children if I could only be at home for a little while to play and romp with Joab and Saml and be with you all it would be a source of the gratest pleasure immajonable but I do not now now when it will be Kiss the children for me and try to git along as well as you can and I will help you as soon as I can by sending or bringing some money I have not Recvd any pay yet and cant sind it untill I do sow nothing more at presant but Remain yours untill Death T.
