Reports from Camp Pierpont. Professes to her, "I think I told you once before that you must not believe all the newspapers say about [this] war for they dont know more than you do. Or not much more. You must not suppose that General George McCall is a going to publish his movements before he make them. As the enemy hears soon enough of his moves without published them. It seem they knew it very near as quick as we do ourselves." Speaks of the rumor that there are 30,000 Rebels at Drainsville who are putting up fortifications, but remarks that he hasn't see any yet. Mentions General George McClellan's preparation against the Rebels, noting their "main object is to cut off their supplies from Richmond."
