Mentions an article Hunt wrote for Century Magazine (possibly on the Battle of Gettysburg). Congratulates Hunt on his son Henry's bravery for participating in the Greely expedition. Mentions the death of a recent acquaintance, who caught dysentery from drinking water in St. Louis, Missouri. The 1881 Greely expedition in the Arctic ended in disaster due to the failure of supply ships to reach the expedition party. When assistance reached the expedition in 1884, only seven members remained.
