Dear Brother,
We got to this place on yesterday. We started from Niblets Bluff some eight days ago. We started to walk the 130 miles, but we found to to much like work. Several of the boys bought horses and some of them pressed on there own hook. So the Captain concluded that he would press for the hole company. So we went out and drove in horses for the hole company and then we came in a hoop. It rained on us all day yesterday and the day before. We all got as wet as water could make us both days. After I got me a horse, me and Huchins went ahead and went to pressing. We soon had us a fare caberis and girt & spurs, & we would press any thing for our mess such as bread & honey and milk and potatoes. The people of this place are very clever and abl. They gave us our dinner and supper yesterday after we got in for the first two dayes. When we were walking we saw sights through water & mud half-leg deep. Brown got a horse, and he got away from him, and it maid him so mad that he would not have a horse but walked all the way through. We take the boat this evening for Berwicks Bay. We will be in Orleans tomorrow evening. Croft & Smith White are well, and all our mess are in pretty good spirits now we have got across the pass. Right to me at Richmond, Va. when you get this. I am pretty good health at this time. Send this letter to Ma Ma if there is nothing in it that is rong. Tell Gum to take care of him selfe, that I can't be with him alwayes. My respects to my friends Barker & Pearson and all enquiring friends.

Dear Brother,
I am at this time in tolerable good health except a very bad cold & soar throat, & our divison consists of five companeys and is the first division of our regiment. We got our horses on yesterday. I got me a good charger. He is a sorel of medium size and has good gate. I call him Punkins. I got the seventh choice in the company. Ours was the first company in the regiment. I beat all the corporals in our company. I am fourth corporal. My horse is about the fourth horse in the company. I Drempt the night before I drew that I got the seventh choice and I got it. We here that the big battle is being fought in Va., but we can't here how they are making it. Whiskey is very hard to get in camp as it is strickly forbiden to be sole in Bolin Green to Solgers, and we are forbiden to bring it in to camp, but we Bucks alwayes have a suply on hand. I got a permit yesterday to go up town, and I succeeded in laying in a supply of good Apple Brandy and brought it into camp. We have not had iany cold weather yet except a few northers. The weather keeps very clowde and damp. We have very good tents. We will draw amunition today. The boys continue to play seven up for quarters & Confederate bonds. I won six dollars the other day throwing up heads or tails with a fellow. I have now got just seventeen dollars. I had eleven before, and now and then I win a quarter.

Nashville, Tenn., December 5th 1861

Dear Sister,
I have just answered your two letters. The one that you rote at Austin dated Nov. 1 and the other that you roat at La Grange dated Nov. 14th. I rote to you yesterday. That is, I set down and rote two pages to you & two to Virge, and when I put them in an envelope to direct, I directed the letters to Virge instead of to you. In that letter I told you whare I was and how I was, but I suppose that it will not be amiss for me to tell you agan as I have plenty of time, and Virge may not send you your part of my letter for some time. Well, I believe that I will begin by telling you some thing about Bolin Green, Our camping ground. Bolin Green is a town something larger than La Grange, composed of stone and brick houses. We are camped about one mile from town. The country around town is wood land and old fields and some what more roaling than it is about Rutersille, some points being as high as the hill at Col. Moore's. All these highest hills around town are being fortifyed by throwing up rock or dirt and terfe walls and pickets and putting cannon behind. The Confederate Camp is scatered around town for ten miles. A regiment or two or three in a place, but right around town we are camped very thick. A river runs within a mile of Bolin Green called Barren river, about as large as the Colorado. They do not navigate it. We have daly communication with Nashville by rail road Train. The best information that I can get here, our forces here number thirty thousand. Gen. Johnson is our commander. Well, now about the Texas Rangers. We got to Bolin Green about two months ago. We laid inactive for about a week, waiting to get our horses. We enquired about the Yankys, and we were told that they were within thirty miles of us. When we got our horses, we were sent out to look for them. A company or two at a time. One company found about four hundred Yankys in a town. They fought them for a while and found them two many for them and came back to camp and got two companys more and went back there but the Yankys had left. They found some guns that they had droped in getting away. The next time we went out we had one hundred rangers & eleven hundred Arkansas Infantry and three piecies of cannon making twelve hundred in all. We were sent about twenty five miles in another direction to dislodge fifteen hundred Yankys that were in a town. Well, we went on there but when we got there the Yankys had smelt us and left. We then herd that they were on ahead about fiftenn miles further. We went there, but they wasen't there. We followed them that way for eighty miles, but we never could ketch them. We got three waggons & twelve horses and some guns that got in there way so that they colden't get along fast enough and had to leave. Many such excusions like these I could tell you about. We Rangers have been going all the time, eager to get into a fight, going through wet and cold, marching day & night. About this time, our Regiment got the Measles & neumonia in camp which thined the companys down so that each company could not send more than fifty or sixty on a scout. But we kept going what could go to look for the Yankeys. When we would get back to camps, we would enquire who had died, and they would tell us of this one and this one. Most always some had died, either in the Hospitle or in camps. I have never seen a tear or heard a sigh over a solgers grave, and all the funeral they have is the firing of twenty four guns over there graves. When the mess that I am in was organized, it consisted of twelve men. One of them is dead (Ed Eane). Seven of the balance are sick. I do not think that our regiment could muster more than three hundred & fifty men now that are able to do duty. The last scout that I was on, we got back on the last day of the last month. We were gone some eight days. We had a very cold wet time. One time I was on duty some forty hours, and I was wet the most of the time. When I started I had a very bad Diarhea, and it did not get any better, so when I got back to camp I was very bad off, and I had the plurasy in my side so me and one of my mess (Ell Norton, Tom Paton's half brother) and some forty others were started to Nashville to the Hospitle. We got to Nashville in the night, and me and Norton sliped off from the doctor and went to Mr. H. B. Plummers (Nortons coson). Here we have a good tight room with a fire place and a big fether bead to sleep in and a carpet on the flower and a negro to fetch us water and make us fiers & I have pretty well burnt the pleurasy out of my side with pepper and Number six and hot bricks. Give my best respects to Mother & Father Coltson, and give my love to Miss Sallie and tell her to be shure to wait for me that I am coming after her if I ever get back and am well. Tell her that I am going to get as many Yankeys as I can, and that I am going to do my best to keep them from getting me. Tell Miss Sallie to be sure and not marry till she hears that I am rubed out. Tell Virge not to leave there upon any consideration to go to the war. Tell him not to enlist till just before they go to draft him and only enlist for Texas service and for as short a time as posible. Kiss my Ma Ma for me.
John W. Rabb.



Mr plumme is as clever as he can be. He will do aney thing in the world he can for us. And there is no better woman than Mrs. Plummer. When we want aney thing all we have to do is to let it be known. I have been here two night. The first night I got to Nshville me and Norton stayed at the hotel. I am as comfortable here as I could be if I was at home. If I can get to stay till I get well, I don¹t want to go to the Hospitle. We have roat to our offisers and told them whare we are. Mr. Plummer is about thirty five and his wife about twenty five. They have two children, a boy about five and a Girl about two years old. Mr. Plummer's Sister lives with him. She is a young lady about eighteen years old. Mrs. Plummer has an aunt living in Austin. Her name is G. C. Darton. Mr. Darten has a grocery store in Austin. We have not drawn aney pay yet, and I am entirely out of money. You may send me some if you have it. I have a pretty good suply of cloths. Do not send me any money if you can't spare it well.

Nashville, Tenn., Jan 4th/62
My Dear Mother,
I am again at Nashville at the house of Mr. Plummer's. I got here day before yesterday. I met with a warm reception from my friend Mr. Plummer & his Lady. When I left here and went up to camp the weather turned very wet & cold, and I took a severe cold with Rumatism in my back, and in a few days I was taken with the chills & fever which made my lims ake so I could hardly stand it. The Dr. gave me some medison, and Croft wated on me so good that I got better in a day or two, and the Dr. sent me down here. I am very week, and a little cold sets me rite back. Though I am now at my old mest and will get about again soon. I have a furlow to stay down here two weeks. Our Regiment is doing nothing now. We have moved camp from green river to this side of Bowlin Green where the horse & men are going to rest for some three weeks. There is some Tenn. cavelry gone up on Green river to watch the Yankeys while we rest. There is no fiting going on up there now. The Yankeys are quiet up there now and will be till we go up there and punch in there nest and make them mad again. I got two letters from Lissy while I was up on Green river, and I got two from Virge that had $15 in. The Winter up here so far has not been any coalder than it usually is in Texas, but I have got in such bad health that seems like I can't stand it at all. When I left Texas I wayed 150 lbs, and now I way 137". I have no news to rite you. We do not fear the Yankees in the least. That fight the boys had up on green river when I was down here before, Croft was in it. He killed one of old Abe solgers and took one prisnor. Smith White was at the fight but he did not pitch in to it. He did not shoot off his gun. When I told Croft what Lissy sayed that how she wished him and Virge was there for her to torment, he sayes he wished to the lord that he was there to see them all. Dont so you wish? Croft couldn't treat me any better if I was his own brother. He does ever thing for me he can.
Your son,
John W. Rabb
Direct your letters to Bowlin Green, Company "F." Texas Rangers.



Huntsville, Ala., March 11th/62
Mrs. Mary Rabb
My Dear Ma,
I got to this place this morning. I left the Regiment three days ago. They were then at Shelbasville, some fifty miles from here on the road toward Nashville. My company & two others were gone on a scout up to Murfreesburo, some thiry miles still further up the road towards Nashville. The had gone up there to see what the Yankeys wer doing. I roat to you at Shelbaville and told you that we had to retreat from Nashville as the Yankeys had got to many of us. Our army is still going on. We will retreat till we find a sutible plase in Ala. to make a stand and then there will be a big fight. The Yankeys say that they intend to follow us up and drive us into the Gulf. They also say that the old union will be restored in sixty days, but we think diferent. When we make a stand we will give them glorious whiping. The last letter that I got from Lissy was dated Jan 30th. She told me the news. It was a parfect letter, and I got one from Bet about the same time. Jep left me some six days ago to come to this place. He had been sick with the coldbut had got better. He gave me the $2.50 that lissy sent me. He gave it to me in silver. I low to hold it for some time. I did not need it thogh. Croft was well when I last saw him about two weeks ago. He was gon on the scout when I was last at the Regiment. I feel pretty well now; in fact I am heavier than I have been before for a long time. But if I was to stay in camps for a week or so and stand the exposure and cold. I would get right down again. My Captain & Col. are very good to me. They gave me paper of leave of absence from the regiment which reads, "reportr for duty when able." So I go on ahead of the regiment and stop and wate till I here that they are coming, and then I go on. Sometimes the people charge me for stoping with them, but genarly they dont charge. I have not found me any place to stop at here yet, but directly I am going out in the country and hunt me a plase. Tell Lissy not to talk to me about marring up here, for if I ever marry it will be in Texas, I think. The army had a greate deal of bacon at Nashville and at Shelbavile that they sent off South. I saw some of it but not much in perpotion to what the army has, but I did not think that the whole Southern army had as much as I saw. It was immense, and what I saw was nothing. The Yankeys got a part of our meet at Nashville. The Tenn. solgers hate mity bad to have to leave Tenn. behind, but I think that we will be in Tenn. again before long. Rite to me at Huntsville, Ala., and I recon that the letters will be forwarded to me whare I am. I wanto see my Ma ma mity bad.

Corinth, Miss.
April 13th/62
My Dear Ma,
I have been here about a week. Our army has had a big fight. We got some advantage of the Yankeys. We took four thousand prisnor and some sixty cannons and a great many small arms. We drove the Yankees from there tents whare we got evry tings we wanted such as blankets, coats, pants, oisters, sardines, candy, and all sorts of Yankey notions, all right new. The Rangers have made several charges, but I only got got down from Decator time enough to be in one charge. The charge that I was in, I shot off my six shooter with in eight steps of the Yankey. I must have killed some of them. We will be with the Yankey again in a few days. We feel sure that we will whip them. I am in better health now than I was when I left Texas. I think I will get fat this Summer if the Yanks do not kill me, and they wouldn't do it if I can help it. If they kill me it will just be the fortunes of war. The battle fieald is a very bloody place, I tell you. I saw sights there. I here Virge has gone to the war. I wish that he was with me, as longe as he has to go. You must do the best you can, my dear Ma. I would like to be with you to take care of you, but I must fight for my country's rights. Tell Bet that Croft is well and has made two charges on the Yanks. Rite to me at Corinth, Missippie.

Dear Ma,
There is a man going home frome the Regiment. That is, he is going to try to get to Texas so I thought that I would send a letter whether it gets to you or not. I wanto see you and Lissy & Bet & Gum and Teck so bad. I am in pretty good health now. We have been in several tight places since the Battle of Shilow. We have been shelled with Cannon severl times. Our Regiment has been nearly all over the Confedersy since the Shilow fight. I do not know what the army is doing now down in Miss, though we here that it has fallen back. I saw Tom Cox's brother the other day. He told me that he saw Virge two months ago. He sayed that Virge was camped eight miles below Austin with the Regiment. How bad I wanto see Virge. Our regiment is in pretty good health now. Lieutenant Tate has just resigned and gon down in to Miss. I wanto be at home so bad. I here that the Yanks are in Texas. We here that the Yanks are in Wharton county. The boys are talking about it now. I think that the most of the Rangers wanto be in Texas. I do not know when we are going to leave here nor where we will go. Well, Ma, I must stop riting. Do the best you can ma. Do not be oneasy about me. Give my respects to all neighboring friends. Good by, Ma.

Knoxville, Tenn., Oct 27th 1862
Mrs. Mary Rabb
Dear Mother,
I am at the above named place. Our regiment got here only a few days ago from where we have been for the last month. I have been in some right tough places since I last rote to you which we were up in Ky. We were within ten miles of Louisville. We had three fights in Ky. Two of them were cavelry fights on both sides. We whipped the Yankey cavelry boath times. One time we routed them compleetly. The next fight we had cavelry & Infantry on boath side. It was a big fight lasting all day. The Yank were forsed to leave the field to us at night. We killed & wounded four thousand of the Yanks. They killed and wounded twenty five hundred of us. I was over the battle fieald the next day. It was covered with the wounded & dead. Auful looking sight I assure you. I suffered no ingury my selfe but my noble little horse, (Nipper that I drew at Bowlingreen and who has been with me all through) was shot in the four leg and brook just as we was going in to a charge. He came near falling with me but he caught on the other leg. I jumped off ove him and pulled the saddle of ove him and that was the last I saw of him. He was a nice made trim made little sorrel and very spirited and he run like the wind. He was the favorite horse in the company. All the boys petted him. I did hate to lose him. This battle is called the Battle of Perryville. After the fight the Yanks brought up an over whelming force. It is sayed two hundred thousand men, so Gen. Bragg had to leave Ky., which he did without any more fighting except our cavelry fighting the Yanks advance. Our army had a pretty smart fight in Ky. when we first got there. That fight was at Munferdsville. We took five thousand head of Yanks. When we were coming out of Ky. I was not with the Reg., but I was along with the waggons as gard. One day we were comming through a very poore mountainous country where all the people are Linkonites and where they get up on the mountains and shoot at us as we get along the road. Well, one day I was the head man of the lay out going along the road, very lesury. Three fellows from off the side of the mountains about one hundred & fifty yards off cut loos at me. The first one missed me altogether, but the bullet whiz pretty clost. The next two hit my horse, the one in the sholder & the other in his neck. I had my six shhoter in my hand at the time, looking out for the Bushwhackers, as we called them fellows that way lay others. I jumped down off the horse and got behind him and fired at them some four times. They then turned and went over the ridge, and as they went they did not fire aney more at me, but they told me to come on God d--- you. The Bushwhackers fired in to our train two different times that day but did no other dammage but kill a horse that was tied behind a waggon and shot a negro in the heal. I have no news to rite you from Va. aney more than I here that Stone Wall Jackson has fallen back out of Mayerland to Manassus plains. We herd some time ago that Gen. Price had been whiped down about Corrinth, and again we here that Price has whipped the Yanks. This is all rumer. I do not know the truth of it. Well, I do not know what this army of Bragg's is going to do, but I think it is going down to Nashville and start the Yanks from there. Well, the weather is pretty cold here now. Yesterday was Sunday. It commensed snowing yesterday, and you or to see the boys riging shelter out ove brush and powls and blankets. Today we drew some tents and also put a requisition for cloths which I think we will draw in a few days. I am in very good health now and tolerable spearits. Give my respects to my Father & Mother in law. Tell Lissy to tell Sallie that I think I will be back after while. Give my respects to all enquiring friends. Well, Bet, Dave is in very good health, but he wants the war to close very bad. I want to see my ma so bad.

Mr. Z. M. P. Rabb
Dear Brother,
I beleave I have rote to you but onse since I came to the war, but that is once more than you have roat to me. You can set down aney time at a table and rite to me, and I have such a poore way to rite. I but that is something. I write home every time I have an opportunity, and I should like to here from you some time. Do rite me a letter or so. I rote to Mother a few days ago. I have not got a letter from home in a long, long time--three or four months. When I roat to Ma I gave her a little account of my history for the las month or so, how that the Yanks had shot one horse under me and the Bushwhackers another, but they have not totch this child yet, though, but they may do it one of these days. I tell you, Gum, these old minny ball & bums are the devil. I would like if you was here during one of our fights, to see how you would like it. But I suppose you will have something to do in Texas before long, as we here that the Yanks have taken Galveston and some other places in Texas. We here that the Yanks are comming to Texas in large forces to winter & kill beevs, & if they do come, you all must bush Whack them like all sin. We here it reported in the regiment that Col. Wharton is going to do his best to get this Regiment sent back to Texas because the Yanks have come there. The boys wanto go back very much. Since riting the above I have been called to attend dress parad. They red an order at the parade from Gen Pope complementing the Rangers very hily for there galantry in the cavelry fight at Bardstown Ky. Our Regiment cleaned out three Regiments of Yankey cavalry. The Yanks had got between us and the main army, and then came on us. We charged them and soon got them to running, and you ought to have been there to see the Yanks jumping over fences and falling off. It was very gay. The rangers are very popular here with the army except the balance of the cavelry. The other cavelry does not like us much. I am in pretty good health. Croft is laying down by the fier complaning some, a little Sick. He is talking to me now about you. He says that he wishes he was there. He says you had better hid away in some hole till the war is over. He sayes if you will come here he will give you a good Yankey Gum. Give my res to Ed Manton and the folks.

In Camp near Murfreesborrow, Tenn.
Nov. 23/62
My Dear Ma ma,
I am going to try to pen you a few lines by fier light to night, as a young man from our Regiment is going to start for Texas in the morning. Yesterday I got ten letters. I got three from Virge and one from Col. Moore two from Lissy and four from my little sweet Sister Bet. You better think I was glad to get them, although some of them had been long on the road. I should like to answer all of those letters, Bet's & Lissies, but they know That I can't rite so manie letters. I always try to send one letter home ever opportunity I have, and when I do rite, I must rite to my Ma ma, but I want Lissy & Bet to rite to me all the time. I am getting very oneasy about you all now I hear that the Yankeys are getting in to Texas. I am a fraid that they may come up to Austin.. If the Yanks come, maby you had better send the negros up in the mountains. I roat a letter to Gum some time ago. Virg's last letter was dated the 18th of Oct. He was near Little Rock. Virge spoke as though he would come and see me if he could get a ferlow. He wanted to send me some mony if I wanted it, but I have pleanty though. Boots and Blankets are hard to buy here, but I will make out. Virge wanted to know how many fights I had been in since he herd from me. If I was to count little & big, they would make about eight. I am in hope you all may get along tolerable well, though I tell you that the Yanks are very bad. If they come up to Austin they will take what ever they see that they want such as Bacon, corn, horses, waggons, beef, & negroes & any thing. You must do the best you can. Our Reg. wants to come to Texas, but they will not let us. They say that they can't do with out us. I told croft all was in those letters, and I gave him that litle note that was in Bet's letter. He said that he would rite as soon as he could. Croft is a very good boy, but he does hate to rite so bad. He is mity mad at John. I think he will rite soon. Tell Mrs. McCluskey that I could not find Col. Parish. There is so many trops. If she had sayed what stat his regiment was from, I might have found him. Our army is camped in & around Murfreesburow. The Yanks are camped in & around Nashville. It is likely that we may have a fight soon. I have not had aney horse since those two was killed for me up in Ky. (I did not give Gabe Penn leaf to take aney Cedar. Old Gabe had better be in the war.) Croft & me are in pretty good health.
John W. Rabb.



Dear Sister Lissy,
Do not think hard of me for not riting a hole letter to you. I can't get envelope & paper. Your letter was very interesting. Rite to me offe. I will send a letter home when ever I can. Rite me at this place, and I recon I will get it, though I expect we will start towards Nashville in a few dayes.

Dear Sister Bet,
You wrote me such a good long letter. I liked it so much. The boys all thought it was from my jularky, and one little fellow devels me so much about, "Fly home to thy native home, gentle dove." He sayed that I looked more like a paterage. I would write to my goolarky, but I han't got one good way to rite and nothing good to write on. You must tell her something good for me that I tole you to tell her. Bet, my horse Nipper is so fine and fat and walks soft and runns so fast.

Shelbaville, Tenn., Jan 14th 1863
My Dear Ma ma,
Our waggons are encamped three miles from the above named place. Our reg. is on picket above here, ten miles this side of Murfeesburow. I had not been in camps before till now since before the big fight at Murfressborow which comenced on the 25th of Dec. nad ended on the 31st. I have come in now to change cloths in order to get rid of the Vermine which are very troblsome to me, and I believe all of the Reg. have more or less of them. The fight I speek of was one of the big fights that you read about. The Yanks came down from Nashville and atacked us with there cavelry. Our Cavelry soon had them running. I had my usual luck. I got my horse killed. He died that night. I had just paid $150 for him two weeks before. His name was Pete. I liked him nearly as well as Nipper. They looked a like. I then got me a little old poney from the government. The Yanks attacked us with a force of about seventy five thousand men. We whiped them on the 25, 26, 27, 28, 29. Kept driving them back, but on the night of the 31st the Yanks got Renforcements, and our Genl. thought it best to pull back as our infantry were worn out. We fell back, caring all of our wounded that could be moved and all of our stores & leaving nothing of ours. But we caried off for the Yankeys six thousand prisnors, forty cannon, eight thousand stand of arms, and a great many ordinance stores, and other stores, and a good many waggons, besides destroying a great many things for the Yanks. In fact, it was a big victory for ous, although we had to fall back. Our troops, weried as they was, could not fight fresh ones. I tell you the scene on the battle field was aufle. The killed & wounded were all most as thick as you ever saw watter in a patch, that is, on some parts of the battle field. While the battle was going on we kept our dead pretty well all baried. You see, we kept driving the Yanks, and so we had full possesion out on the field, and we had the Yank prisoners out on the field burying some of there dead. The hogs got a holt of some of the Yankey dead before the fight was over. We privats got plenty of blankets & other dry goods that were very much needed. I am very well clad now. I have a big Yank over coat and a sack Yank cote, and I have two pare of wollen pants and pleanty of drawers, and I have a good pare of boots and pleanty of mony, and I am in good health. But I think this war has made me look about five years older. I have not shaved since I left home. I have pretty good whiskers on my chin now. Croft is in good health. Old Smith is off at some shop. Me and him had a falling out some time a go. When he went to shoe pete, he hit him on the side of the head with a hammer. I spoke to him pretty short about it, and threw down the hammer and sayed he would do no more to him. I was pretty mad, but I held it in and tryed to get him to finish shooing him, but he would not. Then I took the hammer and did it my selfe. Then I went to him and cust him for about a quarter of an houer and called him all the bad names I could think of before a hole lot of men, and it made him feel very small, and then I got on my horse and left him, and I have not spoke to him since. We have just herd of the recapture of Galeston by Gen. McGrooder. It does us good to think there is nary a Yankey foot on Texas soil. I got a letter from Lissy day before yesterday. It was only twenty seven dayes from home. I was very glad to here from home. I wish I was there for only two weeks, and then I would rather be here than any whare else. I have not got a letter from Virge for a bout a month. Tell him not to ranger but to stay there, and afterwhile he will be Capt. and then he will keep rising. The Yanks here are two badly cut up to follow ous. We kiled three to whare they killed one of us. Give my Res to all my friends.

Mr. V. S. Rabb
Dear Bro.,
I res a letter from you about two weeks ago dated 27th of May. You was at Sreavesport. I was glad to hear that you had been home, but sorry that you had to return so soon. You talk like you thought that if you was here you could get us both leave to go home. Well, I do not think that you could come. It is so far from here to Texas and then there. Texas has to much for this Reg. to do to let aney of them go home. They say that the Texas Rangers are the best cav in this service. You will see from the papers that our army has fell back from Shelbville. Our army is now about Knoxville & Chatinooga. We had several skirmising fights as we fell back. The last fight that our reg had was on the 4th of July. Our reg. was on picket on top of Cumberland Mountain when three Reg. of mounted infantry came up our way. We had a rite sharp little fight. A part of our Reg. charged them, not knowing how many Yankys they ware. We had to fall back at last to our Brigade, and then we made the Yankeys leave. We lost one man killed and a good many wounded, & we lost several horses. Co. "F" had one man wounded & one horse killed and several wounded. It looked strange to me how I came out unhurt. We killed one Yankey Col. & eight privates & wounded a good many. It has rained on us ever day for the last two weeks. I have not been dry during the time. I am in good health. We have good news from Va. Gen. Lee is in Mayerland & he is doing as he likes. I do not know whare you are. I will send this some whare in La.

Mrs. Mary Rabb
Dear Ma,
I again try to send you a few lines. Col. Ferrel, I here, is going to start to Texas tomorrow. I have no news to rite you aney more than what you see by the papers. I have not had a letter from home in some time, & I have not had a letter from Virge since he was at Srievesport on the way back to his Reg. I am very desirous to here from him & also from home. I think it is very to get a letter to Texas now, so you will here from me very seldom, so you must do the best you can, & I will do the same. We may have some hard fighting to do before long, and if I fall, remember that I fell in a just cause, contending for rights & liberty, so you must not cry. But I do not think that the Yankeys will get me. I think that I will come out all right at last. Our armys on this side of the Miss have met with some reverses of late. When we here of it, we have less hope of getting home soon, but we are stern & resolved to fight the Yanks till we get what we want or all of us go up. Some time we think that we will get to go home soon, and then it seems like it will be a long time. I am in good health. I way one hundred & seventy five all the time. Croft is well & a better fellow there is not in our Co. If the Yankeys get in to Texas & they will treat you all very bad. If you do not sen the negroes off they will take them. If they come to Austin, you must also hide your cows & mules & horses or they will take them. Give my respects to all of my friends. Tell Gum to take care of him selfe. Tell him to rite me.

Near Morristown, East Tenn., March 4th 1864
Mrs. Mary Rabb
Dear Ma Ma,
I lay myself down to rite to you a few lins, though I think it very doubtfull wheather you will ever get them or not. Well, I am at this time in very good health & sperits though I wanto see home very bad. Since I last roat to you I have been very close to death's doore. About the 16th of Nov. last I reseived two wounds, one in the lower part of the bowels & the other between the left niple and shoulder. This happened not in battle but in a fray that Sam Grover & my selfe had with four Tennas. Sam was killed dead on the spot. This happened near Knoxville, and then when our army fell back I was left in side of the Yankey lines. I was left at a very good southern mans house, a Mr. Case. I stayed there seven weeks. Saw the Yankeys most ever day. I was then well, enough to walk pretty well so one night I sliped out & walked twelve miles that night and then laid up on the day, & the next night I walked ten miles, & then I was out of Yankey line, & then, after walking two hundred miles, got back to the Reg. all right. After I had been back som three weeks I got six letter at once. One from Bet, & one from Lissy, one from Mr. Reace, two from Virge, & one from my dear ma ma whome I love better than aney one else on earth. I would rather get a letter from her than aney body else. I have no news to rite you at present. Our Brigade is now in Longstreet's army. Now Gen. Wharton is ben transfered to the west side of the Miss R. Thomas Harrison is our Brig. Gen . now. I do not expect to stay ary nother winter on this side of the river unles they give me a furlow to go home a whill. If they do not, I will transfer my self. Give my respects to Mr. Reace & Lissy. Tell them that I can't rite to them yet. It is so difficult for me to get a letter sent. I hope that Lissy has got a good old man. I hope they will agree well. I sent Virge a letter the other day by a Ark. fellow. Give my Res to Cole. & Mrs. Moore. Tell old John H. that he must rite to me. Also remember me to Unkle Andrew and Aunt Pegy & Mr. Manton. It is impossible for me to rite to all my friends, but Croft sends his respects to you & sayes that you must write to him. He is well, & he is the best fellow I know of. Rite soon to him. I see no likly hood of the war ending soon. All of our Armys are in good sperits over here. I would like to have a suit of your homade geans & a blanket of your make, though I have plenty of cloths & blankets. What Reg. does Gum belong to? Is he a private now? Whare is he at? Tell Teck that I say for him to be a good boy & lurn fast. Whare is Arch? What is he doing? Rite to me often, Ma ma.

Marietta, Geo., Ap 20th 1864
Dear Bro. & Sister,
I have just got a letter from you dated Jan 30th. I was truly glad to here frome you, but sorry to learn that my dear ma was unwell and your selves also a little indasposed. I have no news on importance to rite you. The spring campaing has not farly opened here yet. That is, the fighting has not commenced yet, but we are looking for a big fight to come off shortly near Daulton. Gen Forrest has had several large Cav fights latly. He took Ft. Donelson & Paduky, Ky. I am in tolerable good health, though my bowels have not been right since I was wounded, though I feel tolerable well. You rite me that yo
