Full Text	Jan 4th 1862 At daylight this morning a Steamer was reported about 10 she came in & dropped Anchor she proved to be the Neptune with a large mail in which I was very happy yours of the 7th & 14th of Dec & I assure you that I was very glad to hear that you were all well & had recd the money sent; if I have made no mistake I have sent $130 up to this time I am sorry that you should wait for sending that box for fear that we should move; never wait for anything of that kind as you are as liable to miss one train as another, I dont care about a blue vest much, if we stay in the South; as white & buff are worn the year round here. I hope you will think to send that tobacco I sent for a long time ago as it is worth $2 per lb here the Clar Leaf remember, but I presume it is too late for the Box, if not I am afraid the Box will be too late for me this winter
