- Description
Letter written from Solomon Dubois to Johannes discussing news from home. Sol is concerned that Johannes may be "hard up" for women and then goes on to write about his trip to Plattekill to see Fredrick Douglas speak. He thinks his talk was good and mentions that Douglas' grandfather was Governor of Maryland. He writes that it is quiet at home, with all the wild boys off fighting. Johannes shouldn't worry that there won't be any women left for him when he returns from the war. He closes asking Johannes to remember him to the boys in his regiment.
