July 16-22
A letter from sister Betty this week enclosing one from brother Peter written 30th of June. He has gotten back to Missouri; also brother William and both the Sams have come in. Little Sam surrendered with [General Kirby] Smith's army in the South. Sam Eastin was taken at Mobile and paroled. Brother Peter says he finds Missouri much changed during his four years absence .... Eliza is very ill all this week. On Wednesday we thought her dying but she revived a little towards evening. Mr. Meade was sent for and baptized both her and the little boy. John got up Wednesday.
