Joseph had not heard from Wilmor in over a month. Many people in the neighborhood have been getting married, though no one in his family has, and he imagines that "God's command to Noah 'to be fruitful and multiply and replenish the earth' is about being speedily fulfilled." He believes that "our recent glorious victories at Somerset, Fort Henry, and Roanoke Island" must make the "soldiers about Washington feel in fighting mood just now." He expects that Wilmor and his company must be "eager to make a dash at the Rebels and gain a little glory too."
