October 9, 1917 - George Writes to his Future Brother-in-Law Herman


Camp Logan, Houston, Texas  Oct 9 – 17

Dear Herman,

Don’t know as I have acknowledged your card yet but it was not because I did not appreciate it.  I did no write before for the very good reason that I had not had time.  If you think $30 is to much pay for a soldier, at least an engineer recruit, I just wish you could try it a while.  I have been transferred again to Headquarters Company, where there is more work and less drill.  Can’t say I am pleased with the change.  But I’m not sorry I joined as long as they need the men.

Your friend. George S. Sherwood

Headquarters Company, 108th U.S. Engineers Camp Logan, Tex.

How much grain did the folks thresh.
