Dear family,
The was is getting so insane. We had a plan to cut of the railroad and go to Richmond but somehow the Confederates army found out by some horrid traitor and they created a 8 mile line. We thought we were going to win and were so happy but then we ended up loosing. Some how I made it out  alive. I'm so glad to know that everyone is holding up at the house. I love you and the family so much.
Sincerely, Alfred A Scales
