A Confederate Veteran Writes Home
“Camp Near ,Orange Courthpuae, 'Va. »
“January the 22, 1864.
“Dear Father* I once more take my pen in hand to in
form you that I am well as common at this time and I hope
when this comcs to hand it will find you all well. I received
your letter a few days ago dated the 1st and sevepth of this
inst. which gave me greatest satisfaction to hear that you
were all well. I have nothing very interesting to write to
you. The soldiers in camp are generally well. I was sorry
to hear of our county boys being shot at home. I think they
had better come here and run the risk of the Yankees-
“Times are hard here and everything very scarce. Our
rations are so light we are compelled to buy or do worse. I
will give you the price* of some things that we have to buy.
Flour is selling at fifty cents per pound; com^meal, fifty
cents a quart; peas, one dollar and twenty-five cents a
quart; butter, four dollars per pound; milk, fifty cents a
quart, potatoes, fifty cents a quart, molasses, six dollars a
quart; honey, five dollars a pound; dried apples, one dollar
and twenty-five cents per quart; chickens, three dollars a
piece; eggs, three dollars per dozen. I thmk this country is
about eaten out so we cannot buy much more. I don|t want
you to take any more Confederate money for what is com
ing to me. The old bank money is worth ten dollars to
one. I think I will come home this spring on furlough. I
want to see you all very bad. I want you to write often and
let me hear from you all. Write where Uncle Ralph Hol
brook’s bdys are. So I will close for this time. I remain
your loving son until death.
James A. Johnson”
To Hardin Spicer.
Note: James A. Johnson married the daughter of Hard
in Spicer, who wa* the father of Joshua Spicer. Mrs. I. M.
Myers, of this city, is Joshua Spicer’s daughter, and Hardin
Spicer is the great, grandfather of Presley Myers, manager
of the G. P. Store. •
