A short note just for the little girls so they "see that he does not forget his babies." Tells them to say their prayers, to study, be good and take care of their mother. Writes that he has a small white tent all to himself and say, "Would you not like very mush to have my little tent for a playhouse? Oh! I know you would and when the war ends I may bring you a little one if I can get it."
