We are all well and hope thase few lines will find you enjoying the same blessing [.)?] You yesterday which was dated Dec 28th which gave me great satisfaction to her from you and the children, it would be the gratest satisfaction to me to see you and the children But you may be sure that I will come home as soon as I can." I tried to get a furlough before Christmas but I failed on account of the prespect of a fight then at Fredericksberg and as soon as that was over we was ordered down here and we are expecting a fight her every day But we do not now when it will come or it may not take place at all and I hope that it may not But if we have a fight I expect to be in it I will not have a chance to come home untill times changes for now man will be allowed to leave this part of the army while there is a fight expected sow I cant say when I will git come home but the first chance that offers I intend to try a gain sow glad to her that you got your Ring for I was afeard that it would never reach you " I want you to have it for my sake untill I come You stated that the Yankees got the sorrel horse but you did not say whether they got anything else from you. I understood that they left another horse in his place but you did not say anything about it.) I also understood that Isaac had volunteered in the Cavalry and was gowing off. I want you to try and keep him at home if you can untill I come home and I want you to wright to me all about your hogs and how much Pork you have put up and how you have made out for salt and wright all about every thing conserning the stock and how you are making out this winter. Direct your next letters to Goldsboro, N.C. for I expect we will be her for some time." Wright whether you got pay from Sappington or not and whether he wants to stay on my place next year or not." If he does he must pay 3 dollars an acre for the land for I would rather let it ly out that to rent it for less or one third of the crop." But I think that I will sertainly get to come home between this and spring. I want Isaac to try and make a corn crop at the mill you had better let him prepare the field at the mill for that purpose. Give me all the news you can in your next letter and wright to me as soon as you git this letter." Give my best Respects to all my Friends and particular to Esq. Hunter and family and tell the Esq. to wright to me for I have never got a letter from him since I have been in the army." Do not forget me and the boys when you gow to the secret grove [?] for you may affect much in that way.) Tell the children to be good children and teach them to love God." Oh you dont now how bad I want to see my little ones and her them talk. Kiss them for me and tell Saml. to kiss you for me and remember that I think of you and them often in my lonely hours and after I retire for the night." Sow farewell for the presant But I hope not forever put your whole trust in God I remain you husband untill Death T. G. Clark.
