Written at Camp Parapet to a friend. Talks of the attempts of some (such as his friends Wilkinson and Johnson) to be discharged, and Sunday morning mandatory cleaning routines. Mentions General Ambrose Burnside will be reinforcing General George McClellan and that he doubts his regiment will stay put for long as the army needs them on the move. Says a scouting expedition will be going out because of a guerrilla band that has been harassing Union men. Written on military stationary with the image of an eagle.
