Description: John writes that he is in better health. He describes the muddy countryside and the cold weather. He has drawn clothes but no money. He thinks the Union troops may attack soon. He asks his wife whether she is getting assistance from the state or county and mentions that he will be sending a photograph to her as soon as possible. He can't send anything to her now because all furloughs have been stopped. He is getting tired of beef and flour.
