Now I am tired so will lay off for awhile and finish by
scribbling. I hate to trouble you folks
all of the time but these things will help me in my practice work, if I can
make good on the engineering work even in a small capacity. Oh, how I hope I do for Capt. Laughlin is a
prince of a man to work for, I believe, and is an experienced surveyor and
engineer. I hope the things I have
already sent for will arrive soon --, tho have not heard definitely that you
have sent them. If not please hurry as I must study. Captain Laughlin’s last words this morning
were “bone like h—l.” I’m in the kitchen
now, maybe for a week so I don’t have very much time to myself.
If I get in
as rodman on the surveying gang, I will transfer out of Hdqts. Co again, and
put in application with Capt. Laughlin for Co. C so have a little hope to end
up there again, as I know them and Mohr is already in that Co. Of course, it is just a chance if they have
the room now as recruits are arriving all of the time But I hope they do. However, send mail to
Hdqt. Co as before until further orders as nothing is settled.
Now must
close. Don’t say much of this outside
family, as I don’t want any false impressions running around. Of course if I win the job it does not
increase my pay but I feel it is to my advantage at this time.
Love
to all, George
