Davis writes Lucinda informing her that his health is good. He notes that the Pioneer Corps is still in Huntsville building fortifications, however the Regiment will be moving to a camp outside of town. Davis details that Merrick Rogers has come down with an illness but it seems light. He also writes that he received letters from Jabe and Cal Hagerman detailing events in New Orleans. In regards to military events, Davis notes the details of an accident on the railroad in Huntsville that resulted in the death of three soldiers and one civilian. He writes that E Warner is on his way to Mooresville and that he does not think the Regiment will start home until the first of June. Davis closes by stating his thankfulness for the ability to write so he can converse with Lucinda, and notes that he wonders if husbands and wives have stayed faithful to one another throughout the war.
