Recently transferred from West Virginia, his regiment camped near Louisville before being ordered to the Mississippi River Valley.

He boasts, "I have a gun now and all the traps that belong to it and 40 rounds of catrges (cartridges)." In regard to military activities he reports, "I think Will Piel leave hear Isicl this after noon & I don't know Whear Isicl we will gow Isicj." .
