Farm business, mainly the price of wool, leads into a discussion of the value of paper money versus gold. "You will probably notice that as gold goes up (and consequently paper down) that "prices" also "go up" so as just to keep pace with gold, so you see gold, and not paper is, and must be the basis." Hopes to get paid soon. Written in a camp near Petersburg, Virginia
