Clint was thrilled to receive two more letters from Rhea and writes both about his love for her and her eccentricities, and his concerns about how serious their relationship has become. He believes that her parents would raise many objections to their marrying, if they did not outright forbid it. He has an old soldier friend who has been almost everywhere that he shares some of Rhea's letters and photos with, and when he saw the photo he declared her "a queen." He speculates on when the war will end and when he will be returned home. He has moved locations again and is now in town with the higher ups in the regiment. He remarks on how accustomed he has become to simple accommodations, how frivolous his complaints were before he left home, and how long and hot the march was to their current location.
