George has been sent home to recruit and may come to visit her. General Lander wants to open up the railroad into Harpers Ferry and this may mean a battle near Winchester. Mentions the victory of General Thomas at Summerset, Kentucky and notes that the 10th Indiana bore the brunt of the battle. "[T]he Hoosiers are getting quite an envious Reputation in the army, even among Regulars, the fact is, they have to much Reputation now, for there own good. So much fame as fighting men, only Serves to put them in the greater danger."
