Writes the family received the box containing Orice's personal effects. Thanks both Mrs. Ogden and Mrs. Hastings for the care they gave Orice. Says he takes "a menolcholly [sic] pleasure in looking over any thing that once belonged to Orice." Concludes by informing Ogden that the family wants Orice's remains to "rest." A proper soldier's burial will suffice.
