Nashville, February 16, 1864.
. . . What I owe is in the army, but you shall have a full
statement soon. Don't think for one moment, dearest, that I have ever foolishly
expended money or recklessly got in debt. I entered the army owing between
three and four thousand dollars, nearly all of which I have paid, besides
supporting myself and family, and the support of my family has been quite
expensive, more so than it is now.
No news of importance from the front except that General
Thomas is ready for a move on Dalton, and will perhaps start to-morrow. . . .
