Davis writes to Lucinda detailing that his injury is still slowly improving and that he has yet to begin working again. He notes a response to Lucinda's statement that she heard Jabe, Calvin, and E. Caulkins had been killed, by stating that it couldn't be true because they are a part of the defensive force at New Orleans and have not participated in any battles. Davis details that he saw John Carpenter and that all the boys in the Company are well except Jim Kingston. He also notes that he received a letter from Sister Elisabeth and Mother. Davis writes that all troops are currently needed and that the Regiment can be held until November. He details that he will not be surprised if they are kept that long or until the campaigns in Richmond and Atlanta are resolved. Davis concludes by requesting that Lucinda write regularly as he becomes anxious when he does not hear from her.
