An extended fragment recounts a Civil War skirmish scene with vivid first person memory. It details fighting on a crest, confusion among ranks, the Puth Corps line, and a battle hill. Interwoven are reflections on officers, editors, and scenes of camp life, with sensory details and a lingering sense of danger.
A letter from Elmhurst Wisconsin dated July 18 1886 seeks a hardy fox for hunting on the Nye estate. The writer requests a young dark or iron gray fox that comes reliably to call, can traverse wire fences, and stays within reach for the hunter to retrieve. He describes his ancestry and hunting passions, and invites replies by letter with references.
