Transcript	Camp Mott Oct 19th 1862 Dear Wife" I again aptempt to wright you a few lines to let you now how we are getting along we are all well at this time and hope thise few lines will find you and the children in good helth. Jonathan ways over one hundred and forty lbs. and Henry is fat as ever you saw him. My helth is improving although I have had the worst cold I have had since I have been out but it is getting better I sent you a letter by Harman berry which will give you full instructions about the money I sent by Murphree which you will get before you git this." I have nothing of importance to write." I recvd a letter from McDonald in which he stated that Sherman's time was nearly out at the mill and that Sherman was not willing to keep the mill unless I would give half that the mill would make Now I do not like to be forsed to give a man more than I think is wright because I cant help myself sow I will leave that to you you now how he has got along better than I do and if you think it best to give him half you cann exercise your own judgment he proposes to pay half the expenses in running the mill and if you get him to keep it you must have agree to keep the levy up for if the water should commence to brake through the levy and is not stoped it will ruin in a short time but a little work in time may save the levy so he must keep it good if he gits one half the mill makes and pay half the other expenses But I will leave that entirely with you but if you cant git any one else it will be better to give him that than to let the mill stand McDonal wrote also about the [?] him and [?] had with Isaacs mule and that he died and wanted to know whether I thot that they should pay for him or not all I have to say on that score is that it depends on circumstances if the facts are as McDonald stated them to me in his letter it would be hard for him to have to pay for the mule but I have only one side of the tale and shall not pretend to decide the case." I am very sorry that the thing happened I have not heard anything from the Magnolia Guards since I wrote to you before. I wrote a letter to Archy Roane but have never got an answer yet they was [."?] the last I heard from them and I suppose they are thare yet for we have not heard of any new movement in the army lately the helth of my company is still improving and I think it will get to be very good we are sill at Richmond and I think as like as not will stay here all winter you need not send me and the boys any clothes for we have compelled to draw clothing for the company and I have bough what will do me if you could send us a few pair socks by some safe person it would not be a miss but you need not send them unless you can mill with that chause soon for sacks is a small matter and we can buy them." If Sappington is at home I want you to collect the rent for the place he is on." he was to pay two dollars and fifty cents per acre and pay it in corn if I wanted it Sow you had better git it in corn if you think you will need it and he owes the some besides which you will find charged in my book at home besides the tenn Dollars I sent for him at Grenada you had better collect all of it from him if you think you will need it while he has the corn But I still think that I will get to come home this fall I hope before long give my Respects Mother & Pop and all the connexion and tell them all to wright to me and accept the best wishes for your self and the children and tell them that I say they must be good children, pray for me and the Boys. T.G. Clark
