Glad to hear she is well; he is also well. Leg has improved so much that he can "[wear] my boot some and run some on it." The rest of his company arrived today to pitch tents for the winter.

Received three letters, the ninth, tenth, and eleventh she has sent, from her this morning. Also received $1.50 and six postage stamps. Felt bad to hear that William Nash had "such bad luck." Asks to let Nash know that he feels his pain, because something similar happened to him when he was shot in the leg. As soon as the leg had begun to heal, it began to be covered in sores. The leg is getting better now. By the time fighting…

The surgeon took the bullet out, and "it did not go through." Has been with the boys the whole time. His leg is rehabilitating quickly. "Can walk some" on the bad leg, but not completely. Still not much to do around camp. Weather is fine. Have not been in any real danger here. Joseph has gained seven pounds since he left.

It is raining very hard, but all at camp are in good health. Asks how the potato harvest went. Advises her not to sell any more hay after the last half ton, because "you may want it" later. If she does not want it, she can always sell the rest. If Betsey wants any hay, she should receive hers first. Reminds her not to spend too much money and "keep something to buy your wheat with." Is not sure when he will be paid again. If she runs out of money, she can always borrow some from Betsey. Asks her to put her trust in the Lord if times get tough.

Realizes that on the 7th of the month it will have been exactly three months since he left for war. She will "have to do the best you can about that wood."
