Title: to Parents

Decided to write today before going out on picket duty. It "pleases me to know my many friends at home are interested in" his letters. Pat Lovett has arrived at camp. Glad to hear they have been entertained by the various officers who have the privilege to go home and see their friends. It snowed "8 or 9 inches" a few days ago, which is the most he has seen since being in Virginia. Saw the school and town report for the past year. Would think that Moody and Bliss would be heading back to the field soon. It is good that mother has new neighbors, "for she won't be lonesome now." Sadly will not…
