father [C. Parrott] John has been back "in Dixey" for about a week. They are guarding a pontoon bridge and he explains what one is to his father. "Boats are anchored in the River and stringers placed from one boat to another and covered with plank[s]." His regiment has only one year left to serve and he hopes "the war will be over by that time." He relates how popular he and Henry are in Illinois and describes the parties the townspeople had for his wedding. He plans to settle in Sterling, Illinois and start a business.
