                                                       Dec. 26th 1864
Dear Grandma
    I thank you very much indeed, more than I can tell, for the magnificent
present of the five dollar bill.  I have not spent any of it yet and do not
expect to do so in a hurry.  Papa told to me to wait a few days and perhaps
he would have something to say to me about it so I know that he has something
in store for me.  I hope you are feeling better & will soon be quite well.

                                                       Your loving grandson
                                                               Sperrie.
