Written from Mt. Olive, North Carolina to his wife. Describes again the differences in climate between Ohio and North Carolina. Comments on the state of the Confederate cause, saying "Old Lee has got out of Richmond and a going round like a roaring lion seeking how he may save his old treacherous neck," and "I am in good heart about the war ending if Lee did get out forty men will desert him, and another thing they can not feed a concentrated army two weeks any where...They have no artillery of any account so if they come facing Old Bill with Grant in their rear they will soon get their feet into it." Concludes with a small rhyming poem.
