A LETTER FROM A REBEL CITIZEN.
MILLEDGEVILLE, GEORGIA, December, 17, 1864.

     Mrs. Thersay F. Jones:  It is under peculiar circumstances that I drop you a line.  On the twenty-fourth of last month, while Sherman’s army (or a part of it) was in this place, Mr. John Jones came to my house and desired me to take his sic brother (Evan Jones) and take care of him, as he was very sick and not able to be carried any farther.  In humanity, my wife and self agree to take him and nurse him the best we could, though we were badly situated to do so, for the army had taken everything we possessed, except our dwelling house.  They killed every chicken, every hog, and drove off every cow, took all my corn, and eat up every potato, pulled down and burned all the out –buildings; but notwithstanding all this, we done the very best we could for your husband, and we don’t think he was in want of medicine, food, or attention, that he did not get.  He had camp diarrhœa and fever, and died on the twenty-ninth day of November, 1864.  He was prepared to die, and only regretted leaving his wife and children.  The day before he died, some of the medicine his physician left for him gave out.  I went immediately to see the Confederate post surgeon, Dr. Bratton, who is a nice man and good physician; he came forthwith to see him, and left medicine with directions, and gave every necessary attention, but told us he was too near gone to be saved.  Our town was so badly used up and everything destroyed it was with difficulty I procured his burial.  The post surgeon sent me help and buried him not far from my house near where Sherman’s army buried some of their dead.  You may never know with any certainty, but I say to you as a truth, we done all for your husband we could.  I would write more if it was allowed to pass.
