THON INTERESTING IETTERS Of BY-CONE DAYS .Manning, S. C., July 6, 1891 Col. II. L. Penbow, My Dear Friend: I am Nery glad that your were to day elected the president of the Sur vivors Association. I felt that you were entitled to it, more than any ether man in our county. I for one, cannot forget your services in the war anud also what you did for Man ning, since the war, whe~n once ser icurly th'eatened by the n'egroes. But my object in writing this is to ask that the touching tribute you to d.ay read, with reference to our gal 1 at and departed friend Maj. Henry Lesesne, be published. I do not know whether or not it was asked for, for publication. If not I would be glad if you wvould send it to me, and allow me to have it published in th' Clar endon Enterprise stating thu., it is (lone by request. As the years pas's by, I find (lear Colonel, that my heart goes out more and more in esteem for you, in sin cere love for your soul, and in deep) concern for your' welfare for eternity. Allow me as your true friend to urge you to give your heart to the blessed Saviour. Time is slipping away--we will soon be in an endless eternity, let us prepare for it. We are sinners, but Jesus is a loving and omlnipatent Saviour. Go to Him-- just as you are. Hie is able and willing to save. And lie says-"hirh that cometh unto me I will in no wvise cast out" andI God tells us that "the blood of Jesus Christ his Son, cleaneth us from all sin." You were a brave and gallant sol-. dier in the war. I admire you for it. And now (lear friend.-enlist under tihe banner of the cross. Be a soldier of Jesus Christ. JRepent of ein-accept Jesus the Saviour, as he is freely of fered to you in the gospel, and let your influence be on tile sideC of right eousness. Godl bless you (lear Col. in time and in eternity. I am your true friend. James McDowell: Camp near Kinston, N. C. Nov. 20th, 1862, Dear Col. I receive3i yours of the 3rd. inst., on Sunday and readl it with great in terest. I was truly glad to hear that you had got clear of your fever but regreted very much to hear of the baid condlition of your wound, I hope it i* much better b~y thia time. I am tolerably well myself, but a good many of the company are suffering from cold contracted on the way from Culpepper to this place. A good ON of one of the nn Puller WY AND FRID2 M oad. Come and to cost. ompany Camp near Winchester, Va. D~ear Co. Oct. 8th, 1862. I would have written to you before now but have been quite unwell and no chance for writing, I hope this may find you mending fast and that you may soon be able to come to us. After I left you at Manasas, I got along pretty Avell till I arrived at Leesburg, there I took chill and fever, was moved from Leesburg to Win chester where I took Jaundice together with my old complain Diarrhaea. I heard that there was no officers with the company, anr begged the Surgeon to give me a discharge from the hospital that I might be wvith the company, I am now sick and totally unfit for dluty, but will stick as long as I possibly can. Lieut. Cantey came up yesterday but has jaundlico and *ie unfit for duty. Everything is quiet here t.ur Li-my is perfecity atill and no on a an idlea wyhat th-1 next mo~ve will b~e. There are variors re. por' s about the enemy but we c'annot find out wnoat they are at. It i e ported that we are to go hack to the coast on Evans I understand is do ing his best Mo get us oil' Go I gran t that we may get off' for I am alreadyl convinced thatI I cannot stand this wvateri a r. mate. Th .e ar -c . ly foi-ty men v :i i. me ali pr ' v badily used up. We have neither tents nor clotinir. Ot.y baggage was left at Leesburg nnd it is now in possession of the enemy I have not a changiny of clothes. I expect you wvould like to know who are d'ad out of the company: Ser'gt. .J. I:. Wells, WV. D). Kelly, W. L. Brun .Con, II. J1. Lynam, Jim Wise, J. S. Wise and P. S. Rich bourg, Legrand Anderson is reported (Iead and I feat' it is so, I fear' there are several oth ers dead as I can not hear anythine from them. Several of the coinpany were taken prisoners at Washington. I know the namnes of only two, they qer II. B. Drose and 11. A. Mims, they, have been parttoled. Caplt. I larvin was taken by the eniemy at. Leesbutrg hut he was such a bad looking chance they would not have him, he is the poorest man I think I e'ver' saw. I expect he will go home soon. I held the elec tion as you trequtested(, you will see the result befotre this rcaches you, I did my best for' the :Maj. and Ihug.. gins. Tell youtr Pa that I received his let ter of 20 Atig. an lst Oct. will try to answer it sootn, I titink from the tenor of his letter' that he has heard some of the reports in Clarendon coni cerning me which I have heard, you recollect on ouir wvay from Charleston after' I had given so many furooughs vo'i order'ed me not to send alny motre fto you. JI did as you directed, r'efused se'veral, next day you agreed to let many more from each company go. 'I'he 'next morning Slawson sent in some fur'lougs which you signed, the meni went home and told that I would not give them furlotughs but Slaws~on wo'tld. These men being mad with me told that I had becapne very un pontilar with the company and other lies which were calcnlated to in jure n'e athome, -.-- hns been telling some tales oname which I beg ou .e rR AT I of the merits he stump ace THURSDAL ie cLEOD FAR. Summerton r I at practically r Stock C AS, Manager many of the men had to ride all the way from Culpepper to Richmond on open platform cars through a snow storm, without either shoes or blan kets and the effects are beginning plainly to be seen I wrote you in my last letter that we were going to Tarboro. We went there but only remained one (lay when we were or dered to this place, which is one of the poorest and most out of the way places that you ever saw. I am be ginning to think that we have at last found our winter quarters as we are beginning to receive tents, Evans has aill the time been anxious to have con.. mnand of a dlivision, and I think that wvas the reason he wished to go to South Carolina as he would have been the Senior Brigadier there which would, but as he has command of 5,000 troops and this position of North Carolina he is satisfied andl we art very apt to remain here during the winter. There are said to be 25,000 Vankees at Newbern. They made ai slight (demonstration about eleven miles below us dlaybeford yesterday, but causedl us no more harmn than the 10ons of a position of one night's rest, I think that a fight is exp'ected as one( is allowved to leave camp and we are ordered to be readly to move at a mo .ments; waIrning. Our picketing here is pretty hard as it takes a Regt. and '2 company at a time. onle position nickets five and the other eleven miles fr-om camp.. My com1pany~ is quite small at. this time numbering only 30 with me, you write me that there are 25 or 30 at home I am inclined to think that out of that number there must be some fit for duty, I would be glad if you .could asee'rtain if ----, have fur loughs, I have heard that they were at home and it is str-ange that they should be furloughed, when I have received a1 notice from the Surgeon who had charge of them, that they were dlischarged from the hospital a1nd ordereed to report for (lutyV. Please see what you can do ab~out Mr-. Shep herd, I think he ought to be dlii charged. The management of affairs in the Rlegt. is not much better than when I wvrote you last, I look forward with great .joy to the time when you will be able to be with us and1( put things to rights. Capt. Durham is at home on fur lough, went on account of the illness of his wife, but poor fellow, he was loomed not to see her pdive. Se died the (lay before he got home. There is but little news worth 'writing. Mr. Girardeaiu has returned. I suppose you samve heard that D~r. Michel had left| 2s and taken charge of a hospital. "~ol. Roberts.has gone nome. Do tell Uncle Wash to send York if he is able irst chance, if he is not able, to go with you when you come if there s no comiing before you. As I <now of no news which would inter..
