Letters from Eunice upon giving birth to a daughter (Clara) in Claremont, New Hampshire, and from Luther and Charles Henry, who are encamped at Ship Island, Mississippi.

Charles Henry tells of recovering from several illnesses, searching for guerilla fighters, a shipwreck, and other incidents in the field. He also tells of attending a prayer meeting of formerly enslaved African Americans and writes about abolitionists and politics. Eunice continues to write about her living and work conditions and about her children.
