Union Mill Oct 25th 1861

Dear Ned
I have written so much lately home & I know you see all my letters that I have nothing new to write but as it is my time to write you I will write a few lines. Any time there is no news that you will not have seen long before this reaches you. There has been no fight since the fight at Leesburgh. Whether there will be any more soon or not I can't tell. We are ready for them--- when ever they get ready to come--- we (are) working all the time fortifying our positions which seems to be all  ready as strong as nature could form it. I guess you have got the Richmond paper by this time. Lafayette was to make the arrangements as he went home. The paper that I tried to send home last summer was by mistake to Mrs (Teague)----- never found it out till a short time before he left. I guess he sent one for me as he went through Richmond. I think you was ex(c)ited in not sowing grain till after frost. I know it dont do well. I leave the arranging of matters intirely with you for it is impossible for me to tell what is best to do there & me here, in fact I have about lost the hang of things at home any way not caring for any thing so our folks at home can get plenty to eat next year. What cotton we make I think had better be ginned so as to get the seed to use next year. Jim told me we had rope?
2 ballin? but unless the prices in that county changes I dont think I would sell a bale unless the merchants can give
a fair price for cotton. They need not expect the people to pay them. I hope we wont be forced to sell any for any other purpose. If you see any chance to collect any of my notes, collect them & use the money to the best advantage. I made arrangements for Lafayette to draw & pay off my office moneys. I dont owe but little, only what I owe to Davis & if those that owe me dont pay I cant pay him. I wont sell cotton at a sacrifice to pay any body. Write me fully all
about ---- how much cotton you think we will make & our (affairs) generally what the prospect is for provision. I think I will send some money home in Confederate Bonds to pay my Yat? if we ever draw any we have now 4 months pay due us but I dont know when we will draw any. If I should come home through the winter it will take all the money I will have to pay my expenses in fact I wont have enough to carry me home & back. It will take at least $70 to do it. I have about concluded if all keeps well at home not to come till my time is out even if I could get the chance but times will have to (utter) mitely before any body can get leave to go home. I may come if an opportunity offers. Write me often, I want to hear from home every day. 

Yours as ever 
Mike

(Undated note)

I send you all some beans. I dont no no name for none of them, but all the beans I have seen in Va. is the finest I ever saw anywhere in my life. I want you all to do your best on a garden. Comence it early and see how a good a garden you can have next spring when I come home. Make the garden rich & plant early. I will try to pick up some cabbage seed & send home. They have the finest here I ever saw. Tell Ned I read his letter dated 20th Oct & I will write him soon. Make the hogs as good as they can be made & try to fix to raise some for another year. If there can be any sows & pigs bought tell Ned to buy them at almost any price. If you need money at any time let me no. I can make araigments to git money when I want it.
Mike

Union Mill Nov 4 1861

Dear Mat
I have just come in off of picket, been out 5 days, had the worst weather I have ever seen. Day before yesterday we
had a storm of wind and rain that last all day & good part of the night. It was the worst storm I ever saw. We had no tents so we was compelled to stand and take it. I was about half sick when we went out and (I) expected the rain would lay me up but I believe it has cured me for I feel alrite today, better than I have in a week. When I got to camp I found a letter from you dated 24th Oct which done me more good than if I had found fifty dollars. It was the first I had got from you since Dr. Price came back. I was very glad to hear all was well. I knew you would be mighty hurt that I did not come home. I wanted to come home very much if I could have done so honorably but no other way. The clothes you wrote you had sent me is as many as I want. I dont want but one bed cover. There is no use for a man to have more things here than he can pick up and take at any minit for we dont no what day we will be ordered to take up and leave & it is a bad chance to git anything hauled. There is some of the boys here that is getting more than they can take care of. I dont want more than I can manage. I think George will leave for home in a few days to bring Orrin home. Orrin is in bad fix, he has lost the use of himself intirely. He cant walk a step & I fear never will git intirely well again. The Dr. says he has Peralisis but I hope that he is mistaken. I hope that it is Rumatism & he will soon recover. I will send you some money by George. I dont know whether you have got any or not or whether you need any, but I will send some anyway. I dont want you to draw any from Lafayett, what he collects I want to remain in his hands to meet any official matters that I may have standing over. Lafayette wrote me that he had collected and paid over ---- had bin presented. I feel perfectly easy about my official matters now. Lafayette will see me rited till I come home. I will not rite you a long letter this time as I think George will git off in a few days I will then write again

I remain as ever faithful
Mike

(Margin note) I was very sorry your paper gave out so soon when you wrote me.

Union Mill Nov 6th 1861

Dear Ned
I recvd your letter dated the 20th of Oct was well pleased at the way you was araingin about saving the grain. I think it is a good plan to take the spring in the Poy pasture for a pasture without water is not worth much. The land you propose to plant in corn & cotton I think will be a big crop without hiring some person but you (kn)no better than I do what can be tended. I want to make a big crop of corn anyway. I want you to have as much fencing done as you can. I think there will have to be a good (d)eal of fencing done at the Fears place if you plant the other side of the road in corn. I would like all the fencing around the Fears land put in good fix. If you have the chance tar down all that has a long panel or short one & make it new. Try to fix the crop fence between the Fears field & Mr Davis field good. Some of the fence around the Lewis new ground is too low but
cant fix every thing in one winter. I want you to have the old chimneys at home fixed up the best you can. Dont spare no work to make them as comfortable as posable & as safe from fire. I shall be uneasy about fire in them old houses this winter. You must see to giving in my tax at the rite time. I will send some money home by George Roberts if he comes home. I will perhaps send this letter by him or Mr Cury. My tax must be paid, I guess you can collect anough from some boddy that owes me. I want you to look out for my private matters the best you can. Dont use the money that I send home for any
purpose unless you have to b(u)y provisions or can b(u)y some stock hogs. I want you to b(u)y some hogs if you can at almost any price for we must try to live at home in future. I am not certain that George will git off home but think he will. If he does not I will send the money that I speak of by the first one passing. If I keep well & all at home keep well I dont think I shal come home till my time is out. That is why I send the money home. I think it would do all at home more good than for me to s(p)end 65 or 70 dollars to come & not stay more than 8 days even if I could git a chans to come which I dont think I could fa(i)rly do. I could runaway & come but I prefer if all keep well staying here till my time is out rather than runaway. I have not missed a days duty since I had the measels. My health now is very good. I am on guard today so have not got the chans to write much will write again soon. Jim is very well. Write me often.
Mike

Union Mills Nov 7 1861

Dear Mat
As I think George, Orrin, Maj Shacelford & McMath will all leave for home today I comenced before breakfast to write you a letter. The Currys left yesterday, I only sent you a note by them. I am still without any news to write you. every thing on the line is perfectly quite & has bin for several days. I have got worn out looking for the enamy to attack us at this point & have come to the conclusion that they never will fight us again on Bull Run for jest as shore as ever they attack where we now are so shore to git whiped wars(e) than they ever have bin ---- during the war & they know it which leads me to believe they will never come down again. We still continue to work on fortifications, making our position stronger every day. You would be astonished to see the work that has bin done in Farfax County. Farfax County lies from Bull Run to the Potomac a distance of about 25 miles across & bout the same distance up & down the Potomac. Ther has bin from one hundred to one hundred & forty thousand men stationed in Farfax County since the 21st of July. It would make you sorry now to see the county now that the desolations of war has sweep over it. Farfax County has (at) one time bin a fine country & at one time was the pride of the Nation because it was the Birthplace & home of the Grate Washington, but alas it presents a sad site now. for the last month or six weeks there has bin but little restraint throne around the soldiers. The inhabatants that could have left their homes & sought saifty for them selves and little ones in the more interior parts of the State. All has gone that could git away. There are some of the poorer class who was not able to git away and what is to become of the poor familys that still remain God only noes. The country has bin as cleanly swept out as a cotton field after the catapilers has eat it. Out there stock will be bound to di this winter for they have nothing to feed them on. What little hay they was able to save has long since bin take(n) by either the Goverment to feed the Army horses or by the soldiers to lay on. So winter is now upon them & nothing to feed on ---- a large number of them have bin paid for what they had, but the pay does them no good for they cant by any thing to live on. Seeing a country in this fix makes me willing to stay here for twelve months if necessary to drive the theives & robbers back before the Horrows of War reaches our beautiful Southern Homes. There is a grate many who came here & found it was not a frolic that has bin tired & will resort to any thing, maters not how low down it is to git away. For myself I was not decieved, I expected to see hard times & fared better than I expected to when I left home. I didnt come here expecting to profit by it, only for the good of the whole Country. I am glad I came & would not be discharged (from) the sirvis today if I could. I wanted to come home at court very bad & I felt badly disipaited when I found I could not come. I (k)new how bad you would feel when you found I was not coming but I relide on your good sins and knowledge of the Richous Cause in which I was ingaged in to bare you up in the sad disapointment

Whereas I, Daniel A. Newsom bargained with Michael Holmes some time during the last part of last year for a certain piece or pieces, part or parts of tracts of land lying or being situated in Henry County, State of Alabama, Known as the High Smith lands, containing one hundred and thirty eight and a half acres more or less - and whereas I the said Newsom agreeded to pay said Holmes the sum of Six hundred and ninty two 5O/l00 Dollars for said land in the following payments, to wit : two hundred dollars payable 1st of January 1861 and four hundred & ninty two 5O/l00 dollars payable 1st of January 1862 and gave my promissory note to said Holmes accordingly - Be it therefore known to all concerned, that the said Michael Holmes & myself, both being at this time in the service of the Confederate States, in the County of Fairfax & State of Virginia, where we cannot at present give up the paper) have this day cancelled the trade or bargain for said lands, and I the said Newsom hereby declare & make known, that I am to deliver or cause to be delivered to Michael Holmes or his represenative, the bond for titles which he gave me for said lands, the trade being cancelled and the lands now belong to said Holmes.

Union Mills Nov 13th 1861

Dear Ned
as I think Capt Gordon will leave tomorrow or next day for home, I will write you letter in answer to yours by him. I was well pleased with your letter & I would only say in answer to the part relative to my business that I think that your ideas are all rite. I think that 40 acres of cotton is a plenty to plant. I want plenty of corn, peas, potatoes, etc. I felt trully glad when you wrote me you would remain at home til I come back. I also think it is a good idea for you to look after Alic Business if he thinks you can keep his matters strait & give what attention is necessary at home. I want you to go and do just as you think best about a crop
for it is impossible for me to tell much about it. I will be intirely satisfied with any thing you do. I expect Aaron will remain where he is til I git back. If he does not, try to have a plow boy in his place. I want you to buy some hogs at all most any price. I sent $90.00 home by George Roberts. Pay it out for hogs. If you can git them without paying money for them you can buy any & pay for them in any notes I have it would be best as you may need the money for other purposes. Hadent you better buy one or two barrels of syrup some where in the county if you can git it at a fair price ? I have a note on James Scott for sixty or 70 dollers. Perhaps you can git syrup from him or the old man or Henry Enis if you can at a fair price buy what you think we will need. Find out from some of the merchants what the chance will be to git New Orleans syrup & what will be the probable cost. I think it could be laid down for about 50 cts. As I have got to write several more letters to send by the Capt, this will be a short one to you. We have bin out on picket two or three days & did not have the chance to write til this evening, no news worth writing. The old story that the enemy is advancing upon us is reported in camp today, but nobody credits it. I dont think they will ever come here again. I guess you have got the Rich(mond) paper I sent before this which wil post you up about the Leesburg fight. Wright often I remain as ever

Mike

Union Mills Nov 13th 1861

Dear Mat
I received your letter by Capt Gordon, was glad to hear that you was all well. I was sorry that you had bin so uneasy about me. My health is very good, the health of the company is tolerable good, tho there is several cases of sickness yet on hand. We have bin out on picket for the last three days which accounts for my not writing sooner. The weather has bin pretty good for the last week & do hope it will remain so. I dont mind the cold if it was not for the rain & I wouldn't mind the rain if it was not for the mud, but it is the muddiest, nastiest place in wet weather I ever saw in my life. There is no news here to write. Since George left he will tell you all that I could write. Our clothes has not got here yet but will I reckon in a few days. I want to see them come. I know you think I aught to come home any how, and I fear think hard of me for not coming even if I had to run away but I think it best for me to stay til I can git an honorable showing & I dont no if that will come til my time is out or not. The big half of the time is now behind. The next six months will soon pass off. I have taken back the land I sold Newsom [see corresp. of 11 Nov 1861] he is here in the service & not making any thing to pay with. He wanted me to take it back & I done so. I want you to git Ned to take the notes he gave me for the land & give them to Lafayette Teague, there is one for $200 & one for $492.50/100. I think they are both on the same piece of paper. He had my land for titles I want the notes left with Mr. Teague so he can turn them over to Newsom's Agent & git my "Bond". Newsom gave me fifty dollars for the rent on the place this year. I send that note with this letter also the Agreement between me and him. Keep this note I send with this letter at home also the agreement. That is a splendid place, if it only lay where I want to live, I wouldn't take fifteen dollars an acre for it. I have wrote a letter to Ned this evening, one to you, & have now got to write Lafayett so you no I cant write long ones. I expect to send this by Capt Gordon, if he dont git off in the morning I will write you another sheet tomorrow. You must write to me oftin & try to find anough to fill a whole sheet of paper. I am mighty pleased when you write a long letter.

Yours Sincerely
Mike

Union Mills Nov 15th 1861

Dear Mat
The Capt has not got off yet but will in the morning so I write you a few lines more. I have no news to write yet, the weather is very bad raining all the time nearly. I enclose the note I taken from Newsom for the rent on the land. I also enclose $10.00 in money which makes $100.00 with what I sent by George. You must use what you need & take care of the balance. I hope to be able to send you something every time any body passes. I cant get no cabbage seed you will have to try to git seed at home. [See note following, location & date unknown] Fix to have a good garden next spring. Has there ever bin a good shutter made for my buggy. I dont want it to take the weather. If you are as ugly as you say you are, I shall sertainly marry again. It is a bad chance to marry in this part of Va for I dont recon there is fifty ladys in twenty miles of here but by backing out into the interia of the state there is any quantity of pretty girls & they think more of a Southern Soldier than anything on earth. So you had better be looking your best. I must close for want of something to write.

Yours Truly as ever Mike

as to the fight you heard of & about which you were uneasy it has not come off, nor never will at this place. If they could have turned our line at Leesburg the chances are they would have attacked us here, but they got such a thrashing there that they will be sadisfide for a while. If they ever do attack us on our present line you will hear of the worst whipped Yankees that you ever have heard of. If you could see the fortifications we have to fight behind you would have no fear for the result

Write often Mike

[Short note: date and location unknown]
Dear Mat I send home cabbage seed. I want you to give Mrs. Howerton half of them. There is plenty of them. I dont no whether they will do in that country or not. You can try them they are mity fine here

Mike

Union Mill, Nov 25th 1861

Dear Ned
I wrote you a few lines. I think I will send it by Loftlin, he has bin released from Washington on paroal of honor not to take up arms against the U.S. until exchanged, so you see he cant fight so he has to come home. I have no news to write we have got our cloths yesterday, they came in good time. I was nearly naked. I was a little sick last week but have got well. I am on gard today. The weather is cold, the ground covered with snow. Still the cold dont hurt me since I got my cloths & boots. I dont feel it hardly at all. We have some sickness yet tho not as much as we have had. Sim Calk & Toliver Sanders is all the men we have that is sick to do any good. I hope that they are both better. I have just heard that Simpson Fears & Wn McLunny was ded, I dont no when they dide nor what was the matter. I was very sorry to hear of it, it seams that our neighborhood is unforchinate that makes 5 or 6 rite in the settlement that has dide. There is no war news, everything quiet. I dont think the enemy can attack here now, the roads are so bad they cant git here if they wanted to. I dont think they want to come much. We hear they are fighting at Pensacola. I expect to hear that our folks are worsted there. I fear they have too much the advantage in heavy meatle for us to stand our hand. I would not be surprised to hear they had burned the Navy Yard & city both, tho I hope for the best. I am on gard hant got time to write more today. I have had no letter from you since Gordon came back. I will write you again soon. I wrote Martha yesterday I directed (it) to Ft. Gaines (Georgia) care of McAllister.

Write Soon Mike

[The Loftlin mentioned above was probably James Loftin who was one of six prisoners captured from Mike's Brigade when they evacuated Fairfax Station on July 16th]

[IN ENVELOPE ADDRESSED: NED HOLMES ESQ AT HOME PRESENT POLITENESS OF JOHN GAMBLE]

Union Mill Nov 30 (1861)

Dear Ned
I think Toney will git off tomorrow. I write you a few lines. I read your letter dated the 19th, letters mailed at Ft. Gaines come strait through. George Roberts has not got back yet, I have bin looking for him seaven days. My health has not bin very good lately, nothing serious has bin the matter cold & birek I have not bin laid up. I am feeling better today & think I am about well. No news here, the enamy came out the first of the week in this direction & thretend to attack us at Evans fort & Centerville. Their moovements caused conciderable stir along our line, our baggage was all sent to the rear & every prepration made to give them a warm reseption. We had bin anexouly waiting their appearance three or four days. We got news last nite that they had gone back to their dens, so I guess they have concluded not to go to Manassas til next spring. I want you to have the cows well taken care of this winter, put up the potatoes carefully so they will keep well if possible. write to me as oftin as you can. Jimes health is tolerable good. I think he will be elected Lieutenant next week. We have an election today for Capt - Teague & Lightfoot are running. I wont close this til the election is over & then write who is elected Late in the eavening Nov 30th, the election is over, Lightfoot is elected. He is now Capt of the Henry Grays. [He was eventually elected Col. of the Regiment after John B. Gordon was promoted] We have had miserable bad weather for the last 5 or 6 weeks. Last nite it rained all nite, today it is clear & will be a heavy freeze. We have had snow & sleet. I have no doubt but the bad weather has kept the enamy off us up to this time & I think it will keep them off the balance of this winter. It is believed here that the 12 month Vol(unteers) will be discharged about the 1st of Jan if there is no farward movement of the enamy on our line before that time. I dont think it will be so tho it may be. We would like to be transferred to the co(a)st this winter if we are not needed on the Potomac. I hate to li(e) here all the winter & do no good & have no idea that we will git a fight here this winter. The condishion of the roads is such that the enamy cant posably git to us in force. They may attack our baterys at Evans fort, if they do I think it will let our Regment into the fight.
Yours Truly & c
Mike

Mike Holmeses

My Dear cousins
I write you a few lines to let you know that I am yet among the living. It appears to me that you mus all be dead or forgotten me for it is a rare thing to get a letter from any of you and very seldom I hear from you. I want you to write me oftener than you have lately as I am at all times anxious to hear from home. we have no excitement here at this time. No sign of the enemy to advance. The roads is so bad it is impossible for them to come. Luke and Mike is in fine health, my health is very good. I saw Brother Miles yesterday, his health is better than it has been since he has been in the army. brother Jo has joined a cavalry (and) has gone to the war. Some of you must write us soon.
I am your affectionate Cousin
W P Thurman

P. s. I return you my thanks for the pants, gloves and socks you sent me. They will be very good here this winter.

W P TH

Near Harris Ford on Ocoquon River Dec 12th/61

Dear Mat
I have not wrote you in several days, I was waiting for George to come before I wrote. I have ---- no letter from you til today since the 14th of last month. I recvd your letter today of the 4th. Since I wrote you last we have mooved from Union Mill down on Ocoquon River.
We are now about five miles from Union Mill & about the same distance from Manassas. We are about south from Union Mill and on the west side of Bull Run & above the junction of Bull Run & Ocoquon. I suppose it is about one mile from our camp to the junction below. Ocoquon where we are camped is a butiful stream about fifty or sixty feet wide, runs rapid over rocks & shols & makes a butiful appearance to one who love to look on the Mountain Stream. After its junction with Bull Run the river then becomes edy & wider & so continues for 7 miles to what is called Ocoquon Mills. From Ocoquon Mills to the Potomac is tide water which makes the river nevigable for flat bottom boats from there down. In days gone by there has bin consirable trade carried on from the neighborhood of Ocoquon rafting wood & timber from the hills to the Potomac & from there to Washington & outher places, but it is very different now. The hills instead of being used for peasful purposes is covered with soldiers & the fine timber nearly all cut down & destroyed. Instead of seeing the cablin of the wood & timber glitter on every hill the eye meets the frowning breast works with every preparation to force death & destruction into the enamy should they attempt to advance in the direction of Dumfreis.
    The position we now ocupy is on the only rout from Alexandra to our Bateries on the Potomac. So if they attemp to attack the Bateries they will have to pass us before they git to them. Should they attemp to go to our Bateries it will bring on a big fight. I have no ida they will come at all, the weather has bin fine for the last ten days & the roads in much better condishion than they will be again this winter.
    They have made no attemp to come yet nor they ant going to come. They no too well that if they ever give our Army Battle on the line we now hold that they will git whiped so bad that they will never recover from it. We are on the same line we have bin on all the time but mooved about five miles lower down it & now hold the key position to our Bateries at Dumfries & Eavins Port.
    Anough of that, You need not look for another letter from me till Christmas. Mr. Teague will start home the 20th of Dec & git there about the 25th. I will send my letters by him. He will come back about the 20th of Jan. When he comes back I want you if you can to send me some butter. Send out & by seaverl pounds & work it well. Git all the water out of it & then pack it up in something & put it up in a box & he can bring it also if you have any sasauges dry anough to keep put me up some & send. I hope you can by as much butter as you want in that country, this country is intierly et out, we cant by anything at all at no price. If you & Mr. Howerton folks can fix to send me & Jim a rite smart box of butter, sasages & c it will help us mitely this winter. I dont think I shal try to come home till my time is out. I have only five months now to stay. The time will soon run off. I dont think I need any more cloths. I may need one pr of pants. I will write to Ned tomorrow. My health is not very good tho I keep up all the time. I cant git clear of cold. I hope you will not let so long a time slip again without writing. I will write you a long letter when Mr. Teague. Jimy is not very well nor hasent bin for seaverl days tho I think he will be strait soon. I am very sorry to hear about Georges bad health. I hear he will not be able to come back here this winter. I sent home two notes & thirty dollars in money, $20 by Alford & $10 by Capt Gordon, you did not say whether you had recieved it ar not.

I remain yours truly
Mike

Near Harris Ford on Ocoquon River Dec 13th /61

Dear Ned
    I recvd your letter yesterday dated the 4th. I was very glad to git it. It was the first I have had in seaveral days. I was glad you had bought some sows & pigs at any price. 25 pigs to start on with care & good luck with them will make a good deal of meat. I am glad you are doing so much fencing. I no it is badly needed. As to arainging the crop for next year, I leave that intierly with you. Plant as much as you think can be cultivated, as to Mr. Fears I dont no what to say. 
    If we need the land to tend I wish we had it. Still I hate to take it away from the old man. If he wants to stay perhaps you can let him have 3 or 4 acres about the house & let him git the balance of his crop from someone els. Let him stay in the house by all means if he wants to. I will jest leave it with you to araing with the old man the best you can. Be sure to do the best for him you can. I feel very sorry for the old man, he has contributed freely to this war as any man in Henry County. Three out of the 4 of his sons and grand sons has bin cut down & lost to him forever & now the only remaining son he has that is able or willing to help the old man is in the army for the war & no chans to help the old man to fix up to live through the hard times that is upon us all. In view of all this & knowing as I do that the old man is as honest & true a man as lives I would ask that you do the very best for him that you can tho I know that you would do that without my suggestion for I know that you sympathise with the old man as much as I do. Tell Ali-- to help you to fix up land for the Old Man a crop which I know he will do cheerfully. I told the old man last spring he could stay as long as he wanted to where he was. I will write you a long letter by Mr. Teague. I have not got the chance to write much today. Jest do the best you can with everything at home & be assured I shall be satisfied with any thing you do. Try to have my saddle taken care of, I shall want to ride when I git home & there will be no chance to buy a saddle. My health is not very good.

Mike
