Davis writes Lucinda informing her that they will be leaving Chattanooga for Kingston tomorrow, and that the Regiment and Pioneer Corps will guard the Division Wagons. He details that he is feeling better since they left Huntsville, and while he could stay in Chattanooga's convalescent camp, he would rather go with the Corps. Davis notes that three men from the Company will be staying behind, H. Baker, P. Mooney, and D. Caulkins. He further details that while skirmishing has continued, there is no real military news. Davis details that one year ago Confederate General Pemberton and Commanding General Grant held a consultation preparing for the surrender of Vicksburg. Davis concludes by writing that he does not expect much celebration for the 4th.
