Joseph claims that so many of the men in his regiment are sick because of Doctor McFadden, but now they have a new doctor who is much better. Washington was a good doctor but was a drunk, as are so many of the doctors and officers. Joseph's Colonel is "drunk when ever there is any [chance] of a fight" and "is not half the man that Col. Morgan was." Jesse is at New Haven and is doing well.
