Lieutenant Robert A. Moon writes to his friends' uncle from Washington D. C., detailing that he is under the weather from being on constant duty. Moon notes that all of the officers have been very sick and are now slowly recovering, although one man has been relieved from military duty due to his illness and will be returning home. Moon acknowledges that there have been many different disasters, but writes that he hopes the war will conclude soon. Moon continues by detailing that many men have enlisted in order to benefit from the Homestead Law, and that the military is an ideal place for smart, active, laboring young men. Moon concludes by noting that he has to fix a number of Company Records and ensure the men in the hospital receive their pay, finishing by apologizing for his lack of writing.
