Reports that brother Theodore has gone back to his regiment. Writes that he is glad Theodore has returned, as he speculates there were many temptations in his life in Philadelphia. Tells her that the weather is nice and "the few peach trees that there are about here are in blossom, and the little grass that remains is quite green and handsome." Also reports on his tent-mates who are trying to become more religious, beginning with their attempts to "leave off swearing." Written in graphite.
