Macon, Georgia
Monday morning, August 8th, 1864
My Dear Sallie,
I have arisen early this morning to acknowledge the receipt of several letters from you, all of which, though old, were read with interest. They had been forwarded from Atlanta and the latest one was dated the 23rd July. The general received one also from Mrs. Johnson but no date to it and another from somebody else, "Aunt Jan." I imagine as he got in a stew to go farther south all at once. Hurrah for Aunt Jan. I am one of her greatest admirers though I have never seen her, for I see clearly she is going to be the means of getting me home to see my [illegible] - no, my wife who is my life, my soul, my all. A great many of the facetious object to the word wife. It must be [illegible] so and so, but with me it means more than any other word in the English language. It means the one you love above all other created beings, even better than yourself. It means the guardian
