Description

Jeremiah describes the Battle of Seven Pines' level of engagement and the state of the wounded, particularly his wounds and those of Captain Lowry. Mentions his disappointment over not receiving a 'boy' from their mother. Again mentions his fear of the war's long-duration and his assumption that the fighting will continue as soon as the rain and flooding clears.
