\nMy Dear Wife<\/p>\n

We have just finished breakfast, & it is six o clock. In another hour, we will be on the march. The Column will be in motion out the Murfreesboro Pike at 8 o clock.<\/p>\n

Our wagon is waiting to be loaded, & I have embraced this leisure moment to say good bye. Write to me often. We will get mail on the route, so I hope to hear from you. We are all in good health.<\/p>\n

I have deferred writing in answer to your question because I thought I would get home. If you prefer, go to Mrs. McGregor’s. ((In one of her letters to J.F.C., Mary Culver had broached the subject of leaving her parents’ home and taking a room at Mrs. M. J. McGregor’s. Mrs. McGregor was a 45-year-old widow. History of Livingston County, p. 642.))\u00a0Make yourself comfortable by all means & try & be contented and happy. May God bless & keep you.<\/p>\n

Give my love to all,<\/p>\n

Good Bye.
\nYour Affect. Husband
