Title	Letter, Arthur Rice to Maria Walker 5/29/1863
Description	Letter from Arthur Hopkins Rice, Meadow Woods, Oktibbeha County, Mississippi, to his aunt, Maria Walker. He writes about some of the horses having distemper, Mrs. Outlaw giving him a dog, killing snakes, and catching crayfish. He also mentions that his mother gave a horse to some soldiers who were on their way to Vicksburg, and that now she has nothing but mules to pull the carriage. He closes by asking his aunt to send him fish hooks, fishing line, a slate, and slate pencils. Arthur's mother, Augusta Hopkins Rice, includes a note about using lettuce juice as a substitute for opium and asks her sister to consult one of the local doctors about whether it works.

Transcript	Meadow Woods Dear Aunt Maria I hope you are well. I want to see you very much & hope you will come up soon. We have been here more than two weeks, but it does not seem so long, for I am very buisy all day. I study in the morning and play all the evening. Almonte & Zuleka have the Distemper so that I do not ride as much as I did when I first came up. [top margin] Dear Sister, if you will send me one of Queen's shoes I will have her a pair made. Ask Dr. Fearn or Miller if the little ball I send is worth any thing as a substitute for opium. It is lettuce juice which I have collected according to a newspaper receipt. Please let me hear from it as soon as possible, as if no account I shall trouble myself no more about collecting it. Yours &c, A. H. R.
