Grier writes to "My Dear Brother" from home, likely Kingston, Ohio, informing him he gave his old blanket and overcoat to an enlisted man. Mentions the "Independent Companies" were called out and they made "a Respectable appearance about 700 on the day they left..." Reports he's been plowing all day and expects to get the corn in next week. Letter continues the following day. States the oat crop is coming in fine. Discusses the arrival of a new colt and comments "...its neck is rather too short for the size of its body..." Includes a three cent stamp on the envelope.
