Howe mentions that he is in camp while the rest of his company has gone out on picket. He asks Jeanette to send him a photograph of herself, talks about his brothers in the army, people at home and asks her to confirm her receipt of the money he sent her. Mentions a needle book (see folder 96): "I am sory if that that leter with the needle book in it is lost for it would be so handy for me besides it would loock so natural to see some of your fixings . . . ."
