Dear Georges

I was very happy to get your good letter and to know that
you are getting along so well. Of course, I am happy that you were
pleased with the letter. We are planning on amplifying that service
a little so that we will have a list of all our “K" men who are in
the service, and also their location. It will be a fine thing f
us to know where each and every one of the boys are and just how

they are progressing. |

I am glad that you like your work. Certainly when you come
back to Lawrence you will know a lot more about it than not only
the assistant postmaster, but another fellow that I know of. Guess
who?

I trust that you will get in 0.¢.8. and I em sure that you will
because the grades that you have made will qualify you for that. Per-
haps they would rather keep you on the job there because you oan do a
lot of constructive work, but as far as you are concerned I would be
selfish enough to want the 0.C.S. and would try to get it at the first
opportunity. 4

I just got a letter from Jack Ballard and he was fortunate
enough to be one of the escorts for President Roosevelt at Fort Riley.
He sat just four rows away from the Commander-in-Chief, and he got
quite a thrill from it. Jack is in the motorcycle division. I
imagine if that bloomin' motorsyele got going too fast Jack will just
put his feet dow on the ground and put on the brake. Anyhow, he likes
it. He has won first place with the .45 and he has also won first
place among the sharpshooters. And by the way, you remember Melvin
Griffin. He is first lieutenant in the Merines and he did just the
thing that Jack acoomplished. These boys in athletics, sone of the,
have pretty keen eyes. — an | |

Lots of good luck to you, George, and you may rest assured that
we will endeavur to keep the home fires burning while you are away.

With all good wishes to you, I am
ee Sincerely yours,
