Letter from Charles N. Tenney to Adelaide E. Case
Charlie write to Addie from Harper's Ferry, Va. He was very happy about Hal's
promotion and talked about the temporary replacement by Seth Coon to be his
partner. He and several partners built a log house for themselves because there
was little space for new recruits. He went through lengthy details explaining
his delay to respond to two letters from her. He also told her why General Rope
was defeated. And what he expects a wife to do in the matter of housekeeping.
The postscript told Addie that they might stay put for the winter.
