Transcript	Black Water Va )" Feby 26/63 Bear Margery" I embrace the presant opportunity of dropping you a few lines to let you now how we are getting along." We was ordered from Goldsboro on the 14th Feby to Greenville on tar River a distance of about 50 miles and staid there about 3 days and then went to Tarboro about 25 miles up the River staid thare two days and then went to Rocky Mount on the Rail Road a distance of about 20 miles all on foot in all about 100 miles. We then took the Rail Road to this place and find that the boys all stood marching very well" with a few exceptions the company are in fine helth and spirits John and Menifcy are in fine helth.) Isaac was sick when we left Goldsboro and I left Henty with him but we are all together now and Isaac has got well.) I have not put him into the servis yet and do not now whether I will or not I should have started home before now if it had not been for our being ordered off and I do not now now when I will git off But intend to try soon again. I have thot that I had better bring Isaac back for I do not believe that he will stand the servis but perhaps I may put him in the place of one of the Boys But it is a hard matter for me to tell what is best for me to do but I will do what I think Best." We are now in Va about 75 miles south east from Richmond. But I do not now how long we will Remain her But I would not be saprised if we are back at Richmond in a short time. We may get into a fight her in a short time but I do not think thare is much Danjer of us gitting into a fight for I think that our General cares much about gitting into hot places. I will wright to you again in a few days." Give my love [?] to all my friends and accept the best wishes of your husband Kiss the children for me and do not let them forget me for I want to see them and you very bad." T. G. Clark." You had better try and hire some old nigro woman to stay with you." I want you to try and rent out the Bratton [?] place for corn [."?] at home Nothing more at presant But Remain [."?] affectionate husband untill Death." T.G. Clark.
