Received her letter yesterday. Never has written to Horace Rifenburgh. Has had "good living," and "will tend to that son of a bitch if I ever live to get back." Denies Horace's claim that he charged him for the harness; calls him a "damn liar." Will send home $20 at his next payday. Wrote a letter to William a week ago. Sorry to hear that Crawford was collarbone. Does not know how long he will be staying at the camp for. Has heard of fighting nearby; wants to get in a battle.
