Camp near
      Fredericksburg, Novr 28th /1862
Dear Bill
              I wrote you from Gordonsville
& from beyond the Rapidan but the last
letter I recd from you was dated Octr 31st
I suppose you have written others but I
have not yet got them.  I send by Dr Farley
four hundred dollars to be deposited in the
Farmers Bank at Richmond to your credit
I do not know that you need it–if not
keep it-or let Lizzie use as much of it
as she may require, if she does require
any—-.  We are now before Fredericksburg
waiting- like Micawber- for something
to turn up in the fighting way-but for
my part I hope the Yankes will let us
rest this winter–it is getting downright
cold-what about my clothing?  i have
written you long letters on the subject
did you get them.  Direct your letters
to Toombs Brigade–Hoods Division–it used
to  be Whitings–Love to all–in haste
                        Your affectionate
                            Brother
                               W B Gregory
P.S. I send $380–not
four hundred as above
             WBG
