My Dear Mary,

 
       Enclosed with this you 
will find $350.00 of my pay for this 
month.  I write this letter to send up 
to Nashville in the morning with one 
of my Aids-de-camp, who goes up to 
draw money for several of us, and is 
to enclose this with the money by express 
to you.  You can make such use 
of it as you think best.  I feel very 
sure you will make good use of it. 
The best use to be make of it is to pay 
off my debts, which I know is your view 
of the matter – Is my debt to the college 
fund and to the sinking fund both  
paid?  One of these debts was paid over 
a year ago I believe. and I think the other 
is still unpaid.  Cicen knows  how it is 
and which was paid if you don’t but I would 
not ask him anything about it –
