Writes from Camp Stoneman. Thanks Ogden for agreeing to hold his money for him while he completes his military service. Says he mentions that Ogden suggested putting the money into Government Bonds, and instructs her to do whatever she sees fit. He will be going to Washington to receive five hundred dollars for his service, which he will express to her. Tells Ogden to send the money to his father if he does not survive the war. Mentions his sadness over the death of President Abraham Lincoln, as well as the falling of Mobile, Alabama.
