Description
In the letter Curry discusses possible military movements and the progress of the war: "I do long for peace again, but never wish to see it untill we have secured our rights and independence." He urges his son to stand for election as captain and to accept any promotion he might be offered in the future. He ends by describing conditions at home, such as the lack of food and supplies: "Everything is still and quiet down here meat is scarce all through the country--our negroes are doing very well on just half allowance of meat and seem well satisfied." A transcript of the letter is included.
