Tues. Nov. 20, 1917 Dear Mother, I will have a four day pass so I can spend Thanksgiving Day in Beliot. This all depends on getting the money from you. The O.D. pants and blouse will cost $30 and the fare $15 at the most. Can you send this much so it will reach me by Saturday morning? It will be the only time I can ever come home – not even Christmas – until I am discharged. I was baptized in the Leavenworth City Baptist Church last Sunday eve. With Love, Forrest. Remember I will be sending $15 a month home in the Summer. Please send the money so it will get here by Sat. morning if you have to telegraph it.
