Mrs Miller

Your letter to me was detained several weeks and I defered an answer hoping to hear from your friends in Augusta but there has been no flag of truce since I am not permitted to receive such things as you [unclear: propose] to send except from a near relative I am only allowed to receive money from friends and can purchase the small articles if you will be good enough to send me a few dollars of greenback Enclosed one Confederate postage stamp for you to write to your friend in Virignia.

My respects to all your family and believe me as ever your sincere friend

Jas. Y. McCutchan

I have written home in regard to your welfare
