A letter from Lansing Porter informing his wife Elizabeth that it is the second Sabbath since he's been at Camp Kearney as a part of General Weitzel's Brigade. He writes that he received a package (presumably from Brother Hudson) via the Tract Company. Lansing explains that some were in German so he passed those on to the 1st Louisiana Regiment which actually had a good many Germans. He makes mention of a man in the camp who sells beer; that there is a rumor that Colonel Dodge is returning; and that there are many other rumors floating through the air.
