Albert W. Barber writes to his sister Malvina, noting that he is sending her letter by way of William. He acknowledges that William and Uncle Hugh are currently with him. Barber writes that it has been 20 months since he last saw Malvina, and that he will always remember the day he left his home. He continues by detailing that if he were ever to forsake God and his beliefs then he would lose all hope and likely never return. Barber writes that it is difficult to enjoy religion where you don't feel at home, and continues to discuss his own experiences of war and religion. Barber notes that he was recently out on guard duty watching prisoners. He continues by writing that Pa was here and is doing well, George Brown intends to go to Chattanooga for work, and Uncle Hugh is currently lame but should improve soon.
