Title
March to the Other World
Description
Butler asks to be excused for not answering Hodgdon's letter respecting the load of public clothing that had been lodged near Carlisle. For sixteen weeks he has been more likely to march to the Other World than to live but seems to be recovering and has returned to the works. The clothing has been sent forward. He prays God that Hodgdon and his family have avoided the malignant disease [smallpox} that has afflicted Philadelphia.
