My dear Daughter
I intended writing you some time since but was too feeble to do so. Mydisease
chronic Diarreah. I heard from your Mama on 27th June last. Jacob hadbuilt two
huts at Spring Hill and your Mama intended when the fruit was wripe tomove to it
and save the fruit. The crop she represented as being very fine.
Send me when convenient (Ten $10). Direct it to the care of ProvostMarshall.
Now Hallie you can write to me once a week. You see I am too feeble towrite.
Attend strictly to your studies and try and become well acquainted withone study
before you take up a new one. Could you send me some Blackberry jam or any
fruits that would act both as astringents & tonic? Give my kindestregards to your
Uncle and Aunts and kiss the little boy for me.
Yours devotedly, James H. Jameson.

Point Lookout. Aug. 28th, 1864
My Dear Daughter-
I wrote to your Uncle James some time since. The box with its nicecontents
came safely. I requested him if he had not started the other things notto send
them. I cannot use any thing that is sweet. Since I wrote I have beenexceedingly
feeble sometimes not able to walk. If I could get good Blackberry or Portwine the
Physician says it would be very good for me. The best thing I could have.Your
letter stating that you had sent me ten dollars came safely. The onecontaining
the money I expect is in the hands of the Provost Marshall as we do notreceive
the money but get a book crediting us with the amount and can thuspurchase
things of the sutler. I feel a little better this morning but amexceedingly feeble.
Do not fail to write and tell me of your excursion to the mountains. Whenyou
write send me a few stamps as I cannot easily procure them. Give my best
respects to your Uncle, Aunt, Aunt Mildred & [Miss Elvira]. Yoursaffectionately,
James H. Jameson.
The money has come safely.
