Text Any textual data included in the document [Page 1] [Handwritten letter on lined notebook paper torn out from book] Sunday Morning Dear Folks, I have not heard from you all, except for a post card, since last week-end [sic]. Please write me more often as my moral is getting very - very low. I try to write you all every Sunday and once during the week if I have time. I certainly was glad to hear that pop is in good condition. Now if he will just stay that way he ought to eat anything he wants. Things continue to get tougher here. The new officers that we have gotten are making life miserable for us. I think that after this week things may ease up a bit. Gosh I sure hope so. Friday - we didn’t have any classes. I was on guard so I didn’t miss any of my classes. We got leave at two-thirty Friday but I didn’t take it because I had to get ready for Saturday inspection. Friday night Ray and I went to see Olympia get beat by Charleston. [Page 2] The game was pretty good. We sat with Lizzy and some of the Ashley Hall girls. Mom - how about you and Sarah fixing me a nice box of food and sending it to me. It certainly would be appreciated by me and all my friends. Just send it any time but within the next [illegible deletion] week - thanks. I had two test this last Thursday. One in Trig and one in Chemistry. I think that I passed both of them. This afternoon I have to make an English outline and am praying that it will be O.K. Pop - are you now sending me 5 bucks every Monday? Well better close now. Love, Son PS. Tell Sarah to stop fussing - Something I forgot to tell you - We are going to get a new Col. as commandant. He is Col. J. P. Hill of Walterboro. He is supposed to [Page 3] Come here on Oct. the 20th but will probaly [sic] go on leave until Christmas.

Its just about eight more weeks now and I will be home for my Sept. furlough. I have changed my attitude somewhat and things are more pleasant ex-cept studying and that never has and never will be pleasant for me. Not that I will go ---- or even think about going ---- but will you have Pop send me some information on the General Motors Institute. I would like to know more about it as Dad said something about me going there after I graduate from here. Right now I think that after studying for one degree and having to struggle for it I don’t want to have to go to school anymore. Tell Pop that I am holding him to his promise to send me the written statement about not having to stay here after Christmas until the next September. I certainly did enjoy my brief visit with you all last Saturday. I wrote dad about the trouble we had on our way back. We were 3 minutes late but don’t think that we got [illegible deletion] reported for it. Don’t think that I will come home for a few Saturdays because it makes me to homesick. How was the trip to Abbeville? HAve you all heard from Margaret in New York yet? I do hope that she has a swell time and spends all of her money because that is what she likes to do best of all. Tell Cook that I am sorry that I missed her last Sat. but will see her late on. You all send us a cake here pretty soon please mam [sic]. You and dad write tome [sic] soon. Your devoted son, W. A.
