K, supposedly Kin Shepardson, writes a letter to his friends William and Malvina, detailing that he has been sick and in the Hospital for quite some time. K notes that he has not felt like writing, and since the regiment left for Danville, he has felt rather lonely. He writes that he trusts God is bringing him out of his sickness, and notes that Michael Howland, who is also in the hospital, is doing worse. K details that he fears he will not receive mail because he believes it is still being sent to Camp Ella Bishop rather than the hospital. K continues by describing the diet and means of sleep of soldiers, to Malvina in particular, and confirms that the captain has resigned and gone home. K concludes his letter by writing that he misses their Sunday prayer meetings and hopes to one day return to them.
