John Noyes writes to his wife in Newbury, Massachusetts that he misses her and wants to see her. Tells a story about a lieutenant in the regiment who courted a young lady using the name of their captain so that his wife would not hear about his affair, but the captain found out about the lieutenant's lies and he was tried and sent home. He expects to leave for Boston within 10 days. Noyes was a soldier in the Continental army during the Revolutionary War.
