He reports that he is still "right side up," in good health, and working for 13 dollars a month. He mentions that A.J. is also still well and "was on last Sunday as full of mischief as ever." Stemple then encloses some of A.J.'s own words in the letter. According to A.J., the weather is dry and pretty hot, there is a fair prospect of a good grain harvest, and "the excitement is not so great as it has been." A.J. also reports that times are hard and that there is not much money in circulation. He hears that those back home [in Preston County, West Virginia] have been forced to "keep the soldiers right among you, or at least as near as Rowlsburg."
