Henry Stokes Figures describes their trip to Maryland and Pennsylvania. Lately they have all the food they want but were forced to kill a great deal of sheep they didn't use, and he expects Will Ferris to be home soon. The letter is very faded and difficult to read. This letter is Henry's description of the odd feeling he received being on the invading side during his stay in Maryland.
