Description
Collis S. Hough writes to his wife, Harriet Stevens Hough, discussing the possibility of her moving to a different town and says he will send money as soon as he can. He suggests that it may be a few weeks before he can come home on furlough but suggests she move towns so the cost of living is cheaper and the children can be brought up well. He reports that he is doing well. (Includes transcript)
