I got your
letters of the 30th mailed at Kendall & Glendale respectively
this noon right after mess. So I will have to hasten to answer even tho I am
all “legginged & spurred” for a ride.
In ten more minutes I must take my saddle and take “Bean Belly” and
“Mid” out for exercise. “Bean Billy” is
Major Roth’s horse and “Midnight” is at present mine by virtue of “Skinny’s” kindness. To explain:
“Skinny Gleason,” who I have spoken of before, was Major’s mounted
orderly but he got a chance to transfer over to experimental station a couple
of weeks. I was lucky enough to have him
put in a word for me with the Major (unbeknown to me) so when he left I was made
mounted orderly pro tem as it were, provided I make good. Friday was my first
day and I was out with the Major both morning and afternoon. Got pretty sore as “Mid” is far from easy and
I’m a bum rider, but hope to get along all right. Yesterday was rather muddy
and disagreeable so I didn’t go out with the Major, but took “Mid” for a little
jaunt on my own book.
Now I must
close this and take them both out to exercise as the Major doesn’t hardly
expect to go out this nice sunny Sunday P.M.
But I must report in an hour when he will know for sure.
Am very
busy so don’t worry if I don’t write so very often. Got the other $ O.K. but really this must
cease mother! And send that address of
Mrs. Rasmussen's please again at once, as the letter got burned up that had it
in. And you spoke of an enclosed letter
but all I found was the one from Albert’s wife.
Now I must
close as I must be very good if I expect to hold down this job while “Skinny”
is gone.
Love
to All,
George.
Be sure to answer my questions soon Sister, and plan to come
to Texas
