Writes from a fort of the White Mountains. Says he has moved farther from home than he anticipated. Says he often thinks of Ogden and the other soldiers in the hospital. Describes the scenery of his new surroundings and complains of the cold. He tells her about mountain climbing in Maine and New Hampshire, and sightseeing in Boston and New York. Says he plans on visiting the hospital soon, and requests that Ogden please send a copy of his letter to Cornelia because writing materials are scarce, and he left his behind.
