Discusses the unreliability of the mail. Criticizes the "gentleman from Jerusalem" who oversees the Ministerio de Relaciones and describes the "shabby" treatment extended. Explains how his expenses were cut but is glad Cripps upheld his duty of being a Volunteer Sentinel.

Hopes to be back in Richmond soon to see action and has yet to receive a scratch from battle.
