The Civil War Letters of J. W. Rabb

Mr plumme is as clever as he can be. He will do aney thing in the world he can for us. And there is no better woman than Mrs. Plummer. When we want aney thing all we have to do is to let it be known. I have been here two night. The first night I got to Nshville me and Norton stayed at the hotel. I am as comfortable here as I could be if I was at home. If I can get to stay till I get well, I don¹t want to go to the Hospitle. We have roat to our offisers and told them whare we are. Mr. Plummer is about thirty five and his wife about twenty five. They have two children, a boy about five and a Girl about two years old. Mr. Plummer's Sister lives with him. She is a young lady about eighteen years old. Mrs. Plummer has an aunt living in Austin. Her name is G. C. Darton. Mr. Darten has a grocery store in Austin. We have not drawn aney pay yet, and I am entirely out of money. You may send me some if you have it. I have a pretty good suply of cloths. Do not send me any money if you can't spare it well.
