Title: Letter, June 29, 186?, Mary Call Brevard, Tallahassee, to "My Dear Mother," 4 pp., regarding various family matters: "I have not written to you for more than a week because Mays has been sick . . . Dr. Betton attended him and says he ought not to think of entering the service he could not stand the hardships . . . Theodore has been from home a week he went as far as your brothers plantation in East Florida . . . I believe that Theo's chances to get up his battalion are very good. . . Dr. Gamble and Mr. Beard return to their camps to night I feel very sorry for their wives Mrs G will be confined soon. My children are very well and as sweet as possible Carrie talks very sweetly and is the best child in the world. Call is very sweet but is not the best child I ever saw . . . I hope that the glorious news we have just received from Richmond may result in a decisive victory a prospect of having peace once more would be so delightful. . ."
