In a short note, Kelley writes to his sister again thanking her for the care package she sent him. "Must say, " he remarks, "that the turkey was the nicest turkey I ever Seen everything you Sent was verry nice, + relished as none but the Soldier would know how." Kelley writes that he has "good quarters have table stools knives forks spoons tins plates frying pans + a verry nice stove = there is four of us tents together they are all good boys." He invited some of his "particular friends to dine" with him on "cakes, pies + butter, apple butter+ turkey was second to none they had ever eaten." Circumstances in camp are quiet. The regiment has a new and popular colonel.
