Description
Tells Maggie that after his last letter Roberts was sent to the Hospital because he had risings that made it impossible for him to ride or walk, but has since recovered. Now he will be going with Lee's Corps to Augusta, Georgia. He predicts that Sherman will keep all troops in Georgia busy and states that he would much rather remain in Mississippi. Roberts then tells stories of the hospital and how sad it made him to see sick people without a friend or family with them.
