Dr Brother

We have heard nothing from you or the Boys, onley through the expresses tell Austin and Joel to write to us when they have an opportunety as there mother is verry anxious to hear directly from them. Guy and Eliza have been verry sick but are now both well, the news from the U S. is cheering. I hope the sixty five volenteers by the Columbus will reach you in time San antonio once taken and then I think we have the coast clear and will be able to keep it so our anxiety will be great untill we hear of that place being taken which we hope with the protection of Provedence you will be able to do. adue may the god of wars protect you
