Wilmor has seen Charles several times and he is looking better though he was very sick. Doctor Whitssell has left with swamp fever and Wilmor hopes he has a bad case as he made men "that was not able to walk hardley" stand duty, saying they "wanted exorcise [exercise]." He will send money through a young lady so it is less likely to be rifled.
