Clarksville. Tenn. Aug. 28th 1865

Dear husband,

I guess you would like to know the reason why
that I did not come when you wrote for
and that is because I hadnot the money
and could not get it        and if you will
send me the money or come after me
I will come       they sent out
Soldiers from here After old Riley     and they
have got him in Jale      and one of his Sons
and they have his brother Elias here
in Jale       dear husband If you are coming after me
I want you to come before it Get too cold
