| Transcript | Louisville. Jan. 2nd 1865. Mr. W. [William?] Wightman, Dear Wm [William?], I received your kind invitation to pay you a visit to-day and rest assured that nothing would afford me more pleasure than to see you but I am waiting on some No [North?] Alabama friends that wish to start home as soon as we can get our passes from Nashville. I mentioned in a letter to my sister Anne that I had a great notion to go and see my cousin Mary Anne as I expected she could give me some news from home. McAllister wrote to you in relation to Wm. [William?] Patton late in your City. Did you get it. Miss Dyer brought news of his death at Brushear City nearly one year ago. Please write me care of Wm. [William?] Davies & Co this city. Your friends in Florence were all well when I left. If matters do not quieten down in our country we will be forced to leave it - is a hard thing to be forced off at this time - how is my old friend John, is he still in Pekin? Give my love to Mary Anne and the children and believe me Yours friend (Burnside) |
