Dear Uncle,


As I learned by a letter from some of the Watsons awhile back that you were still in
the land of the living I thought I would write you a few lines to inform you that we or part of us
is still living and still in the old north state We have not heard from you since about two years
since you were here although we have written repeatedly we could get no answer we finally
came to the conclusion that you must be dead but we thought it strange that none of your family
would write if you were dead this will inform you that we are all well as common except
papa he is poorly with pains now although he has been in better health for the last six or eight
months than he has been for years my two oldest brothers Giles and William is in the
service (I have more on these two below) William is at Charleston S C and Giles is in
Wilmington N C in the hospital they both are in every bad health my youngest Brother
Polk is dead he died the ninth of last July was a year ago I must inform you that your
brother-in law J M Beasley has got to be a preacher he preaches at the Baptist church at the
old Patin place I heard him preach to day he told me when I wrote to you to give you his
love and respect and ask you to write to him I want you to write as soon as you get this and let
us know how you are all geting on Give my love to Aunt and all my cousins and except the
same for your self
nothing more this time from your loving and affectionate neice

Mary C Ham

papa said tell you that uncle Billys estate was not settled yet that there was some law suits
undesided and the estate could not be settled until they were desided

Notes for GEORGE SHEPHERD HAM:
Letter found in home of Thamas Ham written by G.S. Ham while stationed near Hamilton Crossing, VA.

April the 10th, 1863

Dear Father and mother sisters and brothers,

It is with pleasure that I write you a few lines to let you no how I am getting along. This leaves me in tolerable good health and I hope it will find you all enjoying the same blessings. I rec'd a letter from you all the other day which afforded me much pleasure. I was glad to hear from you all that you were well and getting along through life smooth. I have no special news to write with regard to the war! Everything is quiet for the present, but I think from the prospect of the weather that quietude will soon be disturbed by the booming of canaon. The roads are getting in
good traveling condition if the weather continues good I think our armies will not remain idle much longer. This is the first day that we have this season that reminds me of spring. The sun is shining brightly and warm to day it would be novel to you to see the soldiers all out of their huts lying in the warm sunshine. Last Sunday we had snow twelve inches deep but the ground not being frozen as usual it soon melted off. The little insects are crawling and flying about here to day like they used to in old Georgia which is evidence of approaching spring.
We are camped about four miles from Fredricksburg and about one mile from the famous battle ground of the 13th of December. I frequently walk over the old battle ground and look at the timbers all skatered and torn to pieces by the iron misels of the yankees canon but it always puts a melancolly feeling on me to look at the little mounds of earth that is thrown up about the field that tells me that some of my comrads have fallen. returns to the evening fire in viewing the position that the enemy held we find a great many yankees that was not buried. But this is their
fault. They partially covered them up with dirt. The first rain that came it washed the most of it off now their hands and feet and a great many of their bodies can be seen. Our picket post is on the river. We frequently hold sociable conversations with them. They seem to be quite clever set fellows and generally express themselves as being tired of the war. I want them all to get tired of it and go home. I hav not had a furlough in twelve months but I hear from home occasionally. I want you all to write to me often. You don't know how much pleasure it is to a soldier way here in Virginia to get a letter from his old home. If you did I know you would write me one every week . I have nothing else of importance to write to you. I will close. Please
write soon and it shall be answered by your affectionate brother.
G.S. Ham

P S Louisa, you must take care of yourself be a good just and dutiful girl be ever respectiful and obedient to our parents. Remember tis your solemon duty your charactor as well as duty to them should impel you to do it. These duties should be pleasures. give my love to all the family and take a portion for yourself
