Written at Granby. Starts the letter by stating that no important events have taken place since she last wrote and that the world is "jogging on about the same pace." They are all glad that he is well and they have heard rumors of another battle. She is pleased that he has enjoyed the photographs. She is worried that Cordelia will not recover as her health has been so poor for a while. She thinks that Cordelia's condition is incurable but Cordelia has asked for a doctor because it makes her feel safer. Thinks that Cordelia's condition is due to a tumor. Writes that both she and Cordelia have received letters and photographs from him. Amanda has recently visited her and she has moved in with her cousin Alonzo because his health is poor. Writes that one of Mr. Henry's sons joined the army while another moved to California. They have a boy of 13 living with them to help as labor is hard to find with the war going on. Asks if he knows any of the people she mentions in her letter.
