Asks her "who comes to se you now are a lone whether westys folks come to se you or any body or you aught to have some beau by this time to keep up with other folks while I am here for there is stores here as weel as fun and I must have a little of it for the boy are a laughing at me now about our wifes having beaus while we are a soldiering..." Requests that she write to him. Tells him that he was "mustered" for his pay again. Notes that hasn't sent more money because he wanted to use it for his tobacco, as well as other things.
