Davis writes to Lucinda noting that he is in good health. He details that he suspects several letters addressed to him were lost on a train burnt by the Rebels, explaining why he has received little communication. Davis notes that they left Kingston and moved to Cartersville, while the 18th Regiment continued on another seven miles south. Davis writes that the only news he has received from the front is that General Sherman continues to slowly drive the Rebels back. He details that the farmland of the South has been trampled and destroyed by the army, although there are plentiful apples, blackberries, and freshwater.
