Elm Dale Ala July 7th 1862
Miss S B Boswell,
Dear Cousin yours
bearing date Mar. 18th came to hand
yesterday, nearly four months after
it was written, Old Dickerson is
a very faithful “Carrier Dove” or
he might have lost it in a shorter
time. I am sorry I did not rec’v’
the billet in due time. I should
have gone immediately after
you, we have been very lonely
this Summer. You no doubt
have learned of the Death of
My Mother and of My removal
to the old home-stead, ‘tis an
ancient-looking and lonely place,
but dotted with a great many pleas-
ant memorys of the past, that
reminds me of my child-hood and
[page 2]
boyish days. We have good Neighbors
Altho’ Dr. Heaz’s is married and gone
to the War he has left behind
and at home, 3 pleasant sisters
that will keep you company.
Geo. Andrew and his Son’s wife
have moved out to his plantation
adjoining Mine. Sue is a
very pleasant and lively piece
of the home jenus and is
with us frequently. I mention
these facts to induce you to
write me again when I shall
come after you. If you write
by Mail direct your letter
to Oalnster-Creek P.O. Pike Co.
If by hand Direct to Care of Wm S.
Jackson Pine Level. Remember
me kindly to all the family and
especially to your Pa & Ma. I was in hope
James would get to stay at home
Your Cousin
Mark Moore
