will therefore quit writing for tonight and go to bed and by morning I think I will be all right again. As I predicted last night I am well as ever this morng and only hope you will be able to say as much when this reaches you. The weather has been very pleasant here for some time past as we have had several good showers of rain which allays the dust and cools the air but oh the flies. They are evrywhere by legions. Some time since I ordered the Weekly Nashville Union to be sent to your regularly for [1?] months and paid the Editor for it but in your letter you say nothing about it. There is a heavy crop of peaches groing here this summer and about the latter part of July one would not care if we had to do considerable of scouting for we are quite fond of fruit and there are too many troops together here for there to be much chance to get a very large share. What is the matter with [Tom?]. I have not had a letter from him for near two months. Cap McKinney is still absent and in poor health and I guess he will never come back here again. You will have to be satesfied with three pages this time for I did not feel able to write longer last night and this moring the mail starts early so that I cannot write more. Give my love to the children and say that I will write to them soon. Hoping to hear from you in a few days. I remain your Affectionate Husband A. F. Davis
