This letter, dated April 8, 1864, is from Levi D. Green to his mother. He reports that both he and Marvin are well and expresses his gratitude for receiving a recent letter and a likeness of Almina. Levi instructs his mother to have her likeness taken if she has not already done so, as he wants to have a more recent image of her. He mentions that they have received their pay and will be sending $40 to their mother, though he is cautious about sending it by mail and may wait for a courier service. Marvin had previously sent money by mail, but Levi is wary of this method. He reports that stamps are scarce and cost five cents each, but they were pleased to receive the stamps sent by his mother. Levi also asks about his father’s well-being and whether the family has paid for their land. He emphasizes that he wants his mother to take care of all outstanding payments to avoid any future difficulties. The letter ends with Levi expressing his love and wishing his mother to write back soon.
