Dear Ones All:,
I can’t
understand why I receive no mail from you.
If anything serious is the matter why don’t you wire and I might get off
for a few days. Anyway, I’d rather know
if anything is wrong.
Of course
there has not been time to get any mail down here since I sent you my address,
but if any had been sent to Jefferson Barracks I should have rec’d it by
forward before this.
As I said
before, don’t feel called upon to buy a wrist watch, but let me know whether or
not you are going to send one as I must have one as soon as possible. I have not heard what my bank balance is but
feel sure that it must be at least $10.00 yet, so if you decide not to get the
watch you had better draw that much out and send it by Chicago or St. Louis
Bank draft. If you do get watch you need
only send $6.00 to buy razor, etc.
Also please
send my surveying and my mechanical drawing books (one of each) down, along
with a couple of towels and the suit of B.V.D.’s
I sent home.
Feeling
fine now. Guess work continues to be
good for me. Anyway it’s a cinch I
haven’t had a chance to try anything else.
Please send
the things down in the little black suit case I used to canvas with if possible
as I can use it to keep toilet articles and clothing in very nicely. Also please send down three or four old flour
sacks ripped open to use to clean guns, shoes, etc. A few more kerchiefs would be appreciated.
Must close
now and go back to quarters for inspection and retreat.
Love
to all,
George
Sherwood
