April 19, 1918 - Will In No Hurry to Leave

4/19/18

Dear Ones at home,

            It is a week today since I started from home in such a hurry and I suppose you notice I don’t start back in “such a hurry”.  Today is my day to have extra trouble with my inside gear and perhaps it is best today as it is showery and Geo is too busy to come in today.  Was out to camp yesterday and George and I plan to go to Galveston tomorrow but don’t think I will stir around much today.  I know the work at home must be getting behind but Herman must remember that it won’t pay to overwork the only able man on the job.

I’ll be coming after our trip to Galveston.

                                                Love to all – W. R. S.

 

April 17, 1918 -- "Shiftless" Will Sherwood Dawdles in Texas

Dear Ones All,

            George and I have been together most all day as the Major let him off soon after 8:30 this a.m.  We wandered out to a park in the subberbs (sic)and stayed most of the day but managed to take in two movies since we came back, so that  brings it to 11:00 pm and about bedtime.  I know I am more shiftless than ever before.  But I don’t know just when I will start back as I dearly love to be here with Our Boy – may go out to Camp tomorrow if George gets hung up so he can’t get leave!!

                                      Love to all and goodnight,

                                                       W R Sherwood

                                    4/16/18

Dear Ones,

            Just a line to tell you I have been around the city with George nearly all day as the Major let him off after fixing up the tent.  Was out to Rice Inst. [Was Rice Institute; now Rice University] this pm., went to movies after.  Don’t know just when I will start for Home.  May stay until Saturday as the check seems to be on its way from Kendall to George.

           Hope Herman has found someone to help e’er this. 

                                          Love to you all,   

                                                         W R Sherwood
