Later Aunt Mide married Mike Cochran Aunt Mide had two boys Nattie Nowlen John Nowlen Aunt Mide and the two boy hitched up the oxen and went and got Dick Nowlen he was awful mean and bemeaning that young soldier at a country store the soldier went to the door and shot Dick Nowlen, when his furlo was up he went back to the army they didn't do any thing with the young soldier I do not know yet who wrote this letter. I am looking for other letters to compare the handwriting. I am not sure of the Spelling on the name Nattie that is what it looks like. I thought maybe it might be a Nathaniel or Nate nickname.
