He briefly mentions recent losses from small skirmishes but notes general success in getting the rebels of out Tennessee. He writes that Bragg's troops are deserting to Union lines and that the Confederacy s "losing from every point." He writes that at the end of his three year term he wants to enlist as cavalry if the war is still going on.
