Davis writes Lucinda detailing that he is in good health. He notes that he received letters both from Green Sallee and David Ingersoll. Davis writes that both letters informed him that Brother William and Belle were married on the 2nd of March. The letters continue to inform Davis that Ida has been living with Sallee and that Bennet has been in the hospital in Quincy. Davis details that he also received a letter from William containing his photograph. Davis notes that he wrote a letter to Lewis Smith in an attempt to find Lucinda a place to stay back in Wisconsin. In present news, Davis details that they are still in Goldsboro and that he does not think they will leave here before the 10th or 15th. Davis further notes that they expect to be paid soon. He concludes by writing that while he would much rather be at home with Lucinda he feels that he must witness the end of the war which he believes to be coming soon.
