Near Weyer's Cave, June 14th.
When I look at the locality of the cave, I take additional
interest in it from the fact that my esposita was there once. . . . Our
God has again thrown his shield over me in the various apparent dangers to
which I have been exposed. This evening we have religious services in the army
for the purpose of rendering thanks to the Most High for the victories with
which He has crowned our arms, and to offer earnest prayer that He will
continue to give us success, until, through His divine blessing, our
independence shall be established. Wouldn't you like to get home again?
