Autograph letter signed
Title: to Nan [Maury]
Updates his wife on family members and expresses happiness that his son is better and recovering. Says that Humphreys wants the government to go into the cloth-manufacturing business "now that Wilmington is closed & we will have to look more closely to home for our supplies." Notes that the Navy "is confined to such a narrow compass now that it is hard to find work for the officers."
