Reports to his sister that there is "talk" of sending his regiment to Harper's Ferry. Informs her that there are currently many soldiers in the area, but speculates that they will be scarce again in about a month. Writes "no Four Hundred and Two (402) dollars can draw me," possibly referring to being re-enlisted into the army. Tells her that "if Ben, [possibly their brother] wants to reinlist tell him I say he had better go over in New Spain acrossed the Delaware."
