Partial letter to Gordon Van Kleeck's sister
(probably Roxy Van Kleeck)



CAMP WADSWORTH
Spartanburg, S.C.

July 8, 1918

Dear Sis:

I will write just a few lines tonight in answer to your letter.  I ought to answer Mr. Parker's letter but have been busy as the Dickens for a few days and may not get a chance to do it for a while.  We are pretty certain of leaving here either Thursday or Friday and I reckon will have our hands full.  Will you please explain to him.

I have expressed my suit case and am sending the key in this letter.  There is a pennant for decorating the writing room in there somewhere and a sprig of holly that I picked in the woods Sunday.  Also there is a package of my private correspondence that you had better keep out of for some of it might burn your fingers.  I dont know when it will get there but it will have a bill attached to it I suppose.  I could not send it any other way but you wont mind a small amount like that I am sure.  You had better not send any more mail to me for a few days as it wil be delayed anyhow.  On second thought I guess some one had better send me a letter for there might be some mistake although I think not.  There will be a good chance of getting a leave of absence to go home for three or four days I guess.  At least that is what we hear. There is not much new to write ...

(this is all we currently have of this letter - will keep digging for the other pages)
