"I will give you my bill of fare-to-wit-water brought soon the morning from a spring a mile distant-biscut and bacon & bacon & biscut made up without any lard or sida-for desert.
We have become so fond of the above bill that we have it three times a day"
Major John Wesley Pitts,in a letter home to his wife
