Wilmor reports that Joseph is getting better and Charles is well. He had been sick for two weeks and has not been fighting. He threw away his knapsack and all its contents because he can no longer carry it. He is unsure how the war will continue as "we are half whip[p]ed or it looks like it" and "it is gloomy looking times here."
