| Miss P. Brunley
some time. As I received the nice box of edibles you sent me several days since. Yours of the 9th which has just been received gave me the first information in regard to its origin. I can not find lan- guage that will better express what I would wish that to say, I thank you for the compliment. You pleased the taste of my friends and myself much better that we could have done had we selected all the articles ourselves. I have been looking for a letter from Mrs. P.B. Hunt for sometime. Present my kindest regards to her. alluded in my first as being much abused. Owing to some real or supposed voting of the City Council of Jackson in regard to prohibiting soldiers the use of side walks, Confederate sol- diers have been "down on" the State generally. The Mayor of The City has often through news papers denied that any such bal- loting was done by the Council, but as correction can not keep up with misrepresentations it is not so well with our State as it should be. I am glad to know that you have an interest down that way. When were you there and in what County did you remain the four days? --- Was your father a Lieutenant of the 4th Kentucky Infantry? As to my wardrobe though not so replete as it might have been in better times. I think it sufficient for the weather as a super abundance of clothing is not of so much consequince as you say. Rest assured that I will remain "faithful to the good in adversity or even ruin". As a page of this length is all I can write (or receive) I promise to write you again soon. In the mean time please write again yourself. Your Friend signed J. B. Foster |
