SHERWOOD FOREST, May 11, 1861.
I only write you one
word this morning to say all continues well with us, and that I receive
punctually your letters. Continue to direct them to Mr. Clopton. Mrs. Pegram
sent those addressed to her care. Robert Tyler arrived on Wednesday. I have
only a moment to say this much before the boat passes. Every day I am expecting
an entire interruption in our correspondence. If you would be just as well
satisfied here, how I wish you were with us. Robert has written for his wife by
all means to leave Bristol and join him. She wrote it was getting worse and
worse, and she wanted to come away, and she will at once set out and hurry to
Virginia. From here she will proceed on to Marietta, Georgia, and remain with
her brother until her husband fixes himself in Montgomery.
Robert laughed at
what the papers said of him, though he left, he was thankful to say, no
creditors among the savages. They will soon exhaust their bitterness. Good-bye,
dear Mamma. Love to the household.
P. S.—I am going
this morning to attend a meeting of the ladies of the county, who are assisting
the volunteers as far as they can.
