August 2, 1918 -- George Changes His Pay Allotments That Go Home

George must have decided that he needed a little bit more spending money while still somewhere in France. He is sending $1.50 less each month back home.  He was probably trying to be more frugal than it turned out he needed.  The family also received an allotment probably because of the loss of his help on the Farm. I know that in the past the funds he sent home was meant to go into savings for his future.  But he always made it clear that they were too use this money if they ever found themselves in financial straits of any kind.
