My Dear Wife—

Dr Hudgins, my friend leaves for Lynchburg today & wil return tomorrow or next day.  He has kindly offered to bring you back with him.  I hope you will come, but do not risk anything – I will have a comfortable place for you, but be sure to telegraph me.  I want 10 lbs of coffee

Thanks for Virginias lock.

Yours ever
J.E.B.Stuart.
