re: Wheelock writes about the prices for food in the army. He likes the salted pork and says that things are expensive. He describes his work days, saying some days are busy "onloading botes & helping to load up teames with all sortes of stuff," while other days the soldiers do very little work. He also urges Wood to write soon.
