Reports on what has been happening in camp since he has been back. Explains that they discussed Congress, first negatively, then with praise for their military tax bills. 133 conscripts have been added, they have gotten coffee and sugar but little meat, they have moved to a new camp, and have praised General Lee for granting furloughs. Mentions that he is lonesome. He is waiting for a box Marion is sending. Comments that is he waiting for a recruit that Marion is sending as well. States Ben Martin is probably on his way back to camp. Notes that General Samuel McGowan is back and he heard that General Abner M. Perrine is in charge of Cadmus M.
