A Letter From A Rebel Citizen

Mrs. Thersay F. Fones: |t is under peculiar circumstances that I drop you a line.

In humanity, my wife and self agreed to take him and nutse him the best we could. though we were badly situated to do so, for the army had taken everything we possessed, except our dwelling house.

all the out-buildings; but notwithstanding all this, we done the very best we could for your husband, and wedon't think he was in want of medicine, food, or attention, that he did not vet. He had camp diarrhoea and fever, and died on the twenty-ninth day of November, 1364. He was prepared to die, and only regretted leaving his wife and children. The day before he died some of the medicine his physician left for him gave out. I went immediately to see the Confederate post surgeon, Dr Bratton, who is a nice man and good physician; he came forthwith to see him, and left medicine with directions, and gave every necessary attention, but told us he was too near gone to be saved. Our town was so badly used up and everything destroyed it was with difficulty I procured his burial. The post surgeon sent me help and buried him not far from my house, near where Sherman's army buried some of their dead. You may never know with any certainty, but I say to you as a truth, we done all for your husband we could. 1 would write more if it was allowed to pass. Respectfully, W. A. WILLIAMS.
