In the letter to his wife, he explains that he is still in the hospital but is "a mending"; his regiment left the area two months before, and he does not know where they have gone. He asks Martha for news about people from home and tells her to "state all about your cows and hogs - whether the cows have gone dry or not; and what sort of order your hogs are in." He also asks her where she is living. In the letter to his father, he mentions that he has sent the belongings of his brother Henry but does not know whether they arrived. He adds that he has been attending a "protracted meeting" the local Methodists are holding. Transcripts of the letters are included. [Original spelling retained.]
