dc.description.abstract In this letter dated March 27, 1863, written from Camp Young, William W. Knight responds to his wife Mary's recent letter from March 21. He expresses his happiness upon receiving her letter and learning that she and the children are well. However, he expresses concern that she hasn't received his letters for three weeks and playfully remarks on her recollection of dates. He clarifies the actual dates of his previous letters and mentions sending her money in two letters, one containing thirty dollars. He discusses his recent experience with a chill and fever and hopes that it won't return. William reassures Mary that he is not thinking of remarrying during the war and teases about the prospects of marrying again after the war ends. The letter concludes with his signature and affectionate words. en_US
