Davis writes Lucinda detailing that his health is good. He notes that he has built a nice shanty to stay in while still in Cartersville, although there is talk of leaving soon. Davis writes that the boys in the Regiment are all well. He details that the railroad has been repaired again between Atlanta and Chattanooga, therefore they should receive mail more regularly. Davis notes that Ed Rogers has yellow jaundice although Davis suspects he will not have it long. Davis writes that he has seen many women and children refugees being taken North. He also notes that many Northern men do not find Southern women attractive. Davis notes that this is in part due to the Southern women's habits of dipping snuff, which Davis writes is absolutely disgusting.
