Description

Shedd disputes the "grumblings" of some that the Negroes are being treated better than the whites. He argues that they are much worse off and get no breaks at all. Those complaining are just homesick and lacking of any stamina or sincerity. He closes by saying that the letters from home and his family's good spirits are helping to keep him alive and well.
