Description
Tells Maggie of his travels through South Carolina, where Roberts is now waiting for the Army to pass him. He tells of washing clothes and repairing boots to hopefully last him until he is able to return home. He complains of the increase of drunkeness of officers and soldiers in the army, complaining that morals are degenerating and that it is a sign the war must end.
