L. A. Hall writes to his brother and sister from Citty Point, detailing that his jaundice is nearly gone but his heart is a bit sore. Hall notes that he suspects they will leave for Washington D. C. tomorrow, but they may not as there is one man very sick with Typhoid and a number of wounded men as well. Hall writes of the violence at Dismounted Camp, detailing how the boys refused the Tennessee Officer in charge of the Regiment's orders to drill twice per day, resulting in the boys tearing down their tents and scattering the Officer's things everywhere, as well as shots being fired killing multiple people. Hall notes that he was on guard during these events. Hall concludes by asking his siblings to tell Jenny that he is much obliged for the picture, and hopes to see the baby's.
