This is a letter from John Wheeler, a union soldier, to his family. Wheeler describes sickness going around his camp, including measles and "inflamation of the lungs." Standing guard is a very important duty, but tires out the soldiers. Wheeler is happy about the army's accomplishments in the war so far. He also received a letter from a woman, possibly a love interest.
