Camp Sheridan
Montgomery, Ala.
Nov. 6, 1917
My Dear Mother; -
You letter of three affidavits rec. this P.M. I shall probably start them through the wheels of the Army tomorrow. I feel that there is no doubt as to chances of his being discharged. Shaffer said he would not recommend it, but Wilson said he would, & that it made no difference whether Shaffer did or not.
We were paid today. Guess I'll send home some army towels in a few days for you to keep for me.
Rec. a letter from Jim yesterday. Also one from you & one from Dad.
I suppose you rec. the films. I had them insured so as to be sure you would get them.
Everything is O.K. here. Guess that the staff will move over to our new home at Hdq. last of the week, if we have time of fix our text up as we want it.
The three affidavits seem to be just as we wanted them to be.
Must write a couple more so will close.
Love to all -
Howard
Sigh. I looked again to see what the big to-do was with Shaffer and the discharge, but I still had no luck. I thought maybe "Wilson" was President Wilson, but then I was reminded that October 12th's letter mentioned Major Wilson.
I also couldn't figure out what the deal was with the towels. Guess I struck out this time around! I hope something juicier comes up in the next letter.
