Scope and Contents
Hough writes to Anderson to discuss personal and political matters. He states that a slave insurrection "would almost [be] an impossibility" and goes on to say that a war fought on Southern ground would be difficult for the North to win, since every Southerner feels "it is victory or poverty and death."
