Mr. Jas. B. Jones
Dr Sir
This is to say that your letter of inquiry after your Bro Wm S Jonesdated the 1st of July 1869 was recd in due time and handed to your broWm who took it home to read at his leasure, saying that he wouldanswer it soon, this is the reason why I didid not write as yourequested and not having the letter did not remember your address, anda few days ago I asked your bro if he had ever answered you he said hehad not but had intended from time to time to do so but had as oftenfailed, where upoon I requested him to bring your letter up & I wouldanswer it which he did yesterday, and I now proceed to give you thepoints as requested by the old man, He was glad to hear from you andthat you and most of yours in person escaped the ravages o of the lateway, You say the Rebels took the most you had & in reply your bro saysthe Yankees completely broke him up, taking and destroying everythinghe had but is glad to say that through the goodness of Providence heand wife are yet living anand thinks he will be able to live above wanttill it shall please god to take him hence to another world The oldman is quite feeble times has attacks of dizziness in his head & crampof his body so severe that he thinks he must die. The old laddy is themost active of the two though she is the oldest. The old man is livingat the same old place where he has lived for the last forty or moreyears on the Humphery's Estate. This part of Va is rapidly recoveringfrom the effect of the war and the appearance of the country ischeering (?) notwithstanding we have to lament a lost couse and thesacrifice of thousands of brave and valuable lives; crops of grain ofevery kind was good with us last year and I think if we can get rid ofCarpet bag scalawag and negro rule we will soon be the people that Vacould wonce bost of; In conclusion will say that you bro wishes to beremembered to you and yours in love as and hopes you will write inreceipt of this & he will try and be more punctual in the future thatin the past.
