Writes from Florrans, Alabama (possibly referring to Florence, Alabama). Notes that they have spent two days putting up a pontoon bridge. Writes extensively about God's will, his hopes for peace, and his desire to see his family. Also mentions General William T. Sherman: "I cant hear where Shaman's Army is. I hope we will never hear from him again unles we could meet in pease an not under Armes. I never want to hear a nother Gun fire while I live if I could help it."
