The Confederates have been fighting internally since the Battle of Chickamauga; "I believe they will disband completely." Cornelius Hanvy has recovered. He requests cotton shirts to keep away the army lice. She may exchange the money he sends for silver but "must not be afraid of the greenbacks for they are as good as the gold."
