Complains how long it takes Reeser to answer his letters. Writes about burying a man at the hospital. Says that there was "a old ded horse laying close beside me and the smell of him would kill rats." Tells of a conversation that he had with his friend, William M. Hampton, about introducing him to some women. He gave Hampton an address to a young woman named Caty Brown. Says that William wrote "a gay old Letter" to Caty. Caty wrote a letter back in care of Daniel and when he read it he "laft til I was sure thare was a valentine in it it was a old woman with one eye punched out the letter sade I am blind of one eye and can't see out of the other." Wants a list of the drafted men.
