A. London</name> Esqr</salute> <salute>My Dear Sir</salute> </opener> <p>You will oblige me very much by having the parcel sent you herewith, forwarded to my son, from whom I have not heard for more than three weeks. The <name key="name0001139" reg="Union army" type="organization" rend="yes">Yankees</name> have held possession of our <name key="name0000165" reg="Chapel Hill, NC" type="place" rend="yes">village</name> for fourteen days, and we see no indications of them moving. They have not on the whole behaved badly in the village where we have a safe guard, but in the country they have done badly, pillaging of every thing they could carry off. I have not heard of any cases of the loss of cattle, sheep or hogs — but the country is stripped of mules and horses. I cannot give you later news than you will have had from paroled soldiers from <name key="pn0000971" reg="Lee, Robert E." type="person" rend="yes">Lee</name> and <name key="pn0000850" reg="Johnston, Joseph E." type="person" rend="yes">Johnson's</name> Army. The Yankee dispatches announce the fall of <name key="name0003104" reg="Mobile, AL" type="place">Mobile</name> with capture of <name key="x" reg="x" type="person">Forrest</name> — and the capture of <name key="name0003103" reg="Macon, GA" type="place">Macon</name> and release of all prisoners at that place, and also of <name key="name0001020" reg="Salisbury, NC" type="place" rend="yes">Salisbury</name>, with prisoners and all the Quarter Masters stores sent from <name key="name0000934" reg="Raleigh, NC" type="place" rend="yes">Raleigh</name> so! that it is vain to disguise the fact of subjugation but that is preferable to having been Legislated into submission by the <name key="pn0000761" reg="Holden, William Woods" type="person" rend="yes">Holden</name> faction. by the bye, I hear it<pb id="unc09-23-p02" n="2"/>as coming from Gen. <name key="pn0000058" reg="Atkins, Smith Dykins" type="person">Atkins</name>, that <name key="pn0000761" reg="Holden, William Woods" type="person">Holden</name> is to be our Provincial Govr extending the lines over half of <name key="name0001063" reg="South Carolina" type="place">South Carolina</name> — the other portion of S.C. to be annexed to <name key="name0000415" reg="Georgia" type="place">Georgia</name>, thus obliterating the state lines of S.C. <name key="pn0000903" reg="Kilpatrick, Hugh Judson" type="person" rend="yes">Kilpatrick</name> was here yesterday and had a grand review, which I did not see. The Yankees are running the cars daily from <name key="name0003105" reg="Morehead City, NC" type="place" rend="yes">Morehead City</name> and probably from <name key="name0001238" reg="Wilmington, NC" type="place" rend="yes">Wilmington</name> to <name key="name0000300" reg="Durham, NC" type="place" rend="yes">Durham</name> and probably further up the road. They have a daily mail and forward any letters without inspection. I have a man and horse billeted upon me and if they continue to remain my supplies will be exhausted. They seem to dissuade negroes from going off.
