Wytheville, Virginia. June 11th, 1866.

Dear Sister,
I received your very kind letter last Saturday, the first since last September. I have written to you several time and by not knowing your propper [[proper]] address they have gone to the dead letter office and have been returned to me again. Julia is now staying at Mrs Crocketts, and is plenty large anough [[enough]] to assist you a great deal if you will only send for her or come after her. Julia is very much dissatisfied and wishes to see you very much. The boys have all gone bock to Rockbridge to live. I would have taken Julia to her grandmothers long ago, but Mrs Crockett has made arrangements with the beauro [[bureau]] to keep her until you come after her yourself or send some one. I would like for you to write to me, and whatever you have to send to Julia, send it in my care. And if you will put off the funeral of your husband until next fall I will try, if nothing happens to be present. Please write to me how you are getting on, and where your children are. Also how wages are in that country. The wages women are demanding here are very small. Direct your letters to the care of Col Boyd.
I remain yours affectional & C
Samuel Jones
