Letter, 1863 November 15
In this letter to his sister, Rebecca F. Ross, George W. Ross relates news about his service with the Indiana 8th Cavalry. This letter was mailed from Nashville, Tennessee.
Ross acknowledges the previous letter from Rebecca. He then mentions that his health is good and the boys are well except for John Bickell. By informing her of the weather, he lets her know that the gloves she will be sending will help on his nightly courier's duty. Ross boasts of his cooking skills and jokingly invites her to dinner. He tells of two officers of the 85th Illinois Regiment that surrendered to his unit.
