Begins with a discussion of why Mr. Andrews has not written. Bartlett declares he has a toothache. Then he discusses the $200 he has saved. It means little to him at this point because he does "not care about having it much on hand when thare is a prospect of more fighting to be done." He ends with a discussion of the people he has seen from the Rhode Island area.
