Simeon A. Howe Letter : June 1, 1864

Simeon briefly discusses several aspects of camp life and asks Cindonia how she is handling chores on the farm. He mentions that he is expecting the next installment of his bounty, indicating that he did, indeed, receive the larger $300 bounty. Simeon also jokes with Cindonia about taking an African American woman who lives nearby as a wartime wife because she washes his clothes and he gives his leftover food to her.
