Part 3, Chapter 11

Even though it's only four days later (May 25, 1775), Goring writes another letter to his sister and, this time also to his mother.
He tells them that other companies are joining them, and his company will be in charge of finding food and supplies.
He doesn't have much else to say except that he loves them and will always love them.
He also can't believe that just three months ago, he was sitting around the cooperage with Mr. Porringer discussing old stories and battles about damsels, Jerusalem, Jericho and the like.
Now they're waiting for battle and the men will know soon what it feels like to be ripped apart.
He can't help thinking of Shun and his mother and their fireside.
