The second part of the letter was written the next day. She received a short communication from him and mentioned the family would be heading to Yazoo City if there was no fever in New Orleans.

Description: Letter from Enos B. Moore to his wife to assure her she was not forgotten in his absence. He spent the previous evening at Captain Young's and found all of them well except Captain Young, who was ill but improving. Mary and Harry had just returned from a visit to Mrs. Hollingsworth.
