Braxton Bragg to Elisa Ellis Bragg, February 5, 1856

N. Orleans, 5th Feb’y.

Dearest Wife: The bargain is closed and Mr. Beatty has orders to prepare the papers. I suppose there can be no failure. If so I have a written offer from Judge Baker. Pierce will explain in detail. He is very kind in advice and assistance. You had probably better return with him but I'll write in time for you to know.
