He suspects that his division will soon be heading to Huntsville where they will be stationed along the railroad for the rest of winter. Davis writes that in regards to money he is willing to assist Lucinda's Mother and John, as well as requests Lucinda talk to Robert McMichael about taxes on the land. He insists Lucinda must keep enough money for herself to be comfortable, and that he hopes to live many happy days with her after the war.
