To RH Milroy From Mary Milroy Oct 3 1864

                                   Monday Morn. 5o-cl Oct. 3rd 1864 
 
 
My dear Robert, 
 
 
 
                        I received your letter 
of Sept. 25th, and it is the only one I 
have received since the one dated Aug. 21st  
I regret that I did not get that “long letter” 
giving me an account of your chase 
after the rebels, but did get the $300.00 
sent from Nashville on the 14th inst.  
and I presume that Dwiggins did 
not get your letter as I have not seen or  
heard anything of it, and Cicero says 
that he has not heard from you or had a  
letter.  I am sorry that Cicero does not do 
letter, he is evidently so much engaged  
in that printing office, that he cannot do 
justice to law business. 
 
 
 
Have you received my letters asking for 
instructions about selling the old 
Ark property to Carson, Babs son in law, 
he wants to know your price, he offers 
$300.00 for it, making the first payment of  
$100.00 in the spring and $100.00  
annually until all paid, but I think we 
can get him to pay $50.00 down and 
$100.00 in the spring, the property has all 
gone to rack we have received a cent  
of rent from it that I know of, the tenants
