You wanted to know if I knew anybody that was coming to camp that you could send my clothes by, I don't, except it is Wash Morrow. There is a fellow by the name of Kindred Watkins that lives about four miles from the island ford on Broad River. He lives on the other side of the river and sorter down the river below the ford, that will be coming to our company before long. But it is so far for you to carry the things to him that you had better wait till you get a better chance to send them. If you get to send the clothes, send two pair of drawers, one shirt, one pair britches. I shall send this letter by John Mints and I am going to try to get him to carry my over coat to Lincolnton and leave it there and you must send by the mail after it if he carries it. I will get him to leave it at Lincolnton in some house if he can't carry it home. If he leaves it at Lincolnton he will let you know where it is and you can send for it and you can pay him for his trouble out of my money. He may carry it clear home if he don't he will let you know where it is left. He is John Mints' son. I will send Maw some needles that I bought in Richmond the other day, for I expect needles is scarse up there. Write often. Excuse bad writing for we just now got orders to pack up and be ready to move and I am in a hurry. Give me all the news. G. J. Huntley
