Charles has been wounded. He intended to visit Wilmor on his way to see his brother Joseph E. but was unable to. Joseph E. is now three miles south of Harpers Ferry. Samuel asks Wilmor's opinion of the removal of McClellan from the command of the Army of the Potomac, but reserves his own judgment stating that "time will test the matter wither for good or for ill." He prays that peace will be "reestablished on the ruins of Southern Secession."
