Camp of 53d Va Regmt.

Bermuda Hundred line

July 30th 1864

My dear sir,

I thank you for your very great kindness and forethought in recommending me to the the attentions of your niece Mrs. A. W. Emly of Philda. I shall without hesitation throw myself upon her assistance. Should in future the fortunes of war place me in the possession of the enemy. Of her kindness to our soldiers, who were left wounded on the field of Gettysburg by our retiring army, I have heard one speaker with enthusiastic admiration. I hope that you will not hereafter regard yourself under any obligations to my father or any citizen of Halifan, for by your kindness & the unremitting care with which you and yr. family nursed the sick soldiers from that county you won their esteem and laid the county under a [debt?] which no amount of hospitality can more than repay.

Believing myself now in your debt I am.

With much regards

Yrs. very truly

Henry Edmunds

Saml. L. Bright Esq.
