Writes to his godmother about fighting the Comanche Indians in Oklahoma. Notes his successful recovery from a "severe ordeal." Comments that "Indian warfare is not the most glorious in the world, hard fighting after riding miles and miles through the hot sun...and getting but little if any, glory." He does enjoy the life apart from the warfare. Comments on the hunting and fishing, and his horses (one a captured Comanche pony). Indicates that he will soon go to Camp Cooper, 115 miles south of Camp Radziminski, from where he writes this letter.
