Miss P. Brunley, My Dear Friend, The mail came in today but I a poor unfortunate did not get any letters nor have I received one from any of my friends in a week. What are you all doing, are you going to balls with Mrs. (Name unreadable) or have you all gone out in the Country to help Mrs. Blackburn make Maple sugar? the $16.00 sent by Miss Pugh. I suppose it is lost. She had best call on the express agent at that place and make him refund before it is too late. Complaint must be made within 30 days from the date at which it was expressed, I Think. You do not tell me how Miss Bacon is getting along. We are having a dull time here now. I would not ob- ject to a pocket edition of the Rip Van Winkle nap du- ring the rest of my sojourn here.___ I understand there is no exchange on hand, that it is nothing but a parole. What do you hear about it? We don't read newspapers here. --Contraband-- Prisoners have blankets and clothing issued to them as they leave here by paroled Confederate Officers who are here for that purpose. They are yet leaving very fast, 500 leave today. I have not forgotten that you promis- ed to introduce me to our friends down there. I will put you to the trouble to comply with your promise just as soon as the war is Over. When will it end? - When ! - Be sure to write on the day you get this. Your Friend (signed) J. B. Foster |
