New Orleans Feb 28th Dear Pa I received [illegible word] letter by Mr. [Klun] [three illegible words] made me feel very much worried by telling me of not receiving any letters. I have written by the Grey Eagle. I see by Grand Ma's letter that she has not improved much I will send her bonet by Mr. [Goodrich] Miss Lee thinks that will be the safest way. I hope for the six months to come to a end so I can come home. I have heard this evening that a box is on the Grey Eagle or Mr. Pilcher office Mr. G says he will attend to it tomorrow. Uncle and Aunt are well he says he saw Mr. [Defrance] who told him you were well. Ma writes to take my letters to Mr. Pilcher but he is so [uncomactating] to every body I don't like to bother him. I hope you will receive this letter as I have written so many letters and you all say you don't receive them all are well. Miss Lee got towe letters from the Dr. he was about leaving I went to see coz Sally once. Coz. James wife married a preacher about a year after coz James death. I keep very well only home sick I am glad to hear you are all keeping well make Jack take good are of Prince. I am sorry you keep so confined. Your friend Mr. [Gongert] has removed to St. Charles to be a more [illegible word] part of the city. Molli an Kate an Ninie send love. I go to dancing school if you cant send me let me know by the next letter Mollie an Kate send their love to yourself and Ma. Your affectionate son Fred Bernard
