A letter from David:
Rolling Fork, KY
19 Jul 1863
Sunday morning
"Dear Brother John and the family:
With pleasure this beautiful Sabbath morning, I take my pen in hand to write you a few lines to let you know that I am still in the enjoyment of good health and spirits, which is indeed a great blessing, and I hope when these few lines come to you they may find you all in the enjoyment of the same great blessings.
Well folks, I hear that you have had a visit from Morgan's band of guerrillas! Well, I hope he has not done you any damage. They came very close to where we are camped. The main force was within three or four miles of us and, no doubt, some of them were nearer than that. While they were near to us, we were hourly expecting an attack.
We have had several miniatures (photographs or tin types) taken and, for fear they would fall into the rebels hands, we sent them over to a neighbor's house for safe keeping. While some of the boys that had money worth taking care of were afraid, if the rebels captured them they would take their money, so they stuffed their greenbacks in their shirt collars and sewed them up again. But as things are all quiet again on Rolling Fork, shirt collars have been ripped and relieved of their contents and our pictures have been brought back to camp. We did not expect to surrender to the rebels had they attacked us 10,000 strong, without giving them a round or two from our cannon and our rifles, but they did not disturb us. As he, Morgan, is now in Ohio, I hope he with all his force will be captured. I am now more anxious to hear from you since Morgan has got over there. I will send my picture when I get some sealing wax to seal it up with".
