Dear Madam

I received your note yesterday asking me my Nephews address at this time I have no idea where he is but will send you the usual one which I presume he will get as they are always forwarded from Richmond I have not heard from him since I wrote you before I am sorry you could not hear from your son and hope he has gotten better and has been moved and soon be with you I have written to Iredell today asking him to inquire particular after him perhaps he has been carried to Winchester Sam Nuly of the same company has been taken there should I hear any thing from Iredell I will inform you of it with pleasure

with much respect I remain yours

You can direct Lieut Edgar Ballard in the same way as they both belong to the same company.
