Simeon A. Howe Letter : November 11, 1863

Simeon relays some details about Cindonia's life in Michigan: she has put the children on a study schedule, she is taking care of the family cattle, and she worries about Simeon's health, safety, and moral surroundings. Simeon expresses excitement about serving as a cook for the regiment so he does not have to partake in guard duty or drilling.
