| Colonel, |
| At the request of your brother I give the
lime made by your hands from the day they left Jackson up to
their arrival at Atlanta. I propose to pay for all sunk time except in
case of Wesley who has been worthless to us. While we have boarded him
and supplied medical attention. Dr. Grant says protracted sickness and
run away time was to be deducted. |
