Miller writes to his wife from camp near Union Mills. Comments on a recent situation in which some men in his regiment refused to obey orders; he previously described the incident to Lile and now reprimands her for reading the letter to another woman. Expresses his melancholy mood, writing, "Dear Lile i cannot look at People and the world as i one [sic] did."
