Autograph letter signed
Title: To his wife
Home affairs: children, horses, business deals. Food: "We have plenty of salt pork, bacon, and beef there has been a lot of fat cattle brought here which they butcher so as to have fresh beef twice a week.... We get a kind of conglomerated vegitables [sic] composed of all sorts of boiled, mixed up together and dried vegitables for soup. It is considered very healthy and is middling good but since some of the boys found worms in their soup it dont go down so well." Describes bread so heavy that the soldiers fight with it.
