Summary:
Bayard gets to the main gist of Louisa Hawk's letter to Rosa Millard: Drusilla's shocking choice to ride and fight with "Cousin John" dressed not only as a man but as "a common private soldier"; Louisa insists she and John must marry at once, refusing to believe Drusilla's explanation that she is riding in his troop "not to find a man but to hurt Yankees" (191).
