Cook has kept up his correspondence with the "Houston Telegraph" regarding the daily camp lives of the soldiers. He reports that he didn't have any time to write Eliza and asked his friend John to address her in his letter to Lou (wife or sister?). He did so because,
"We feared that some of the boys would write flaming war letters back and alarm you unnecessarily and John wrote Lou to that effect."
Instructs Eliza to tell the children "…all about the wars, the big guns and [illegible] and everything."
Was written near Bowling Green, Kentucky.
