Transcript	Camp near Goldsboro Janry 29th 1863 Dear Margery" I this evening reed two letters from you and hasten to answer them. We are all well at presant and hope these few lines may find you enjoying the same blessing." I was glad to her from you and her that you and the children was well but was sorry to her that Isaac was not going to stay at home with you for I had thot that he would be a gradell of help to you besides a gradell of company But if he will not stay at home with you I would much rather you would send him to me for I would much rather he was here than any where else in the army." But if he has not started her when you get this letter I want him to stay at home untill I come home for I think that I will be there between this and the first of March it would pain me very much for him to gow off any where else and leave you before Spring for I do not see how you would get along through the balance of the winter I intend to do the best I can to get off home in a short time tell Isaac that I will bring him back with me when I come." I want to see you all very much." It seems to me that I would be glad to see any boddy from that country." I do not think that thare will be any more fighting of importance in this part of the country before spring and I hope thare will not be much more any whare." The people are in tolerable good spirits here and talk a goodill about peace." But if the Yanks are not satisfied we will give them the best as have in our [?] But I do not believe that they will attack us at this place before Spring." I do not want you to think that I have any fears about your not doing the best you can for yourself and the children for I have never doubted but what you would do that. But I was afeard that you would indulge Isaac in gowing to town to much nowing that he was to much inclined to keep bad company the way the news came here was in a letter from some of the Chrestmans and I suppose that they heard it some how and I did not inquire how for I did not believe it. But I thot that it was my duty to tell you about it for fear he might be influenced by some mischeveous boys to do something that would give you and me trouble I would very much hate to her of him gitting into any bad scrape I have nothing more of any importance to wright to you at this time. I have written you to two letters a short time agow." Give my best respects to all my friends and relations." Remember the little ones for me and accept the best wishes of your husband sow farewell for the presant untill we meet again." T.G. Clark." P.S." If you do sent Isaac I do not want him to be mustered into the service untill he gits her for I think that I can arrange matters better T.G. Clark.
