In this letter, Michael M. Miller writes home to his wife. He wishes she is well and says he is feeling better since the last time he wrote. He mentions that he feels like he has nothing to do but sit around. He also writes that the army is trying to enlist the Old Reserve Corps, and that if the position was ever offered he wouldn't take it unless she wanted him to. He asks her to send him a list of men who were newly enlisted from their town. He ends the letter by saying that he is running out of food rations. He wishes her a happy Christmas and asks her to write more.
