Davis writes to Sister Elisabeth noting that his health is good. He informs her that he is still unsure of when he will be coming home and does not want to provide false hope. Davis details that he received letters from Mother, as well as Sister Elisabeth and Brother Isaac. He writes that the Regiment was paid, and that he acquired the Veteran bounty. He also notes they will likely receive their monthly pay soon and that although he has been paid, he will not send any money home until he knows if they will have a furlough in the Spring. Davis details that the men have been told they will leave when the 4th Minnesota Regiment returns next month, therefore not before June. Davis writes that the 3rd Brigade of their Division will leave for Decatur tomorrow while the other two Brigades remain in Huntsville where they have been quite busy building fortifications, as well as ordinance and commissary buildings.
