Jacob Dieter wrote this letter from Warrensburg, Missouri. He is sorry to hear that Martha has been sick. The company expects to move five miles to guard a bridge. He does not like this camp because there is too much guard duty and he does not have extra time to earn additional money. He wants the children to learn as much as they can at school. He observed that many of the local children ten or twelve years old cannot read and some of them do not know how old they are. Very few people can write.
