My Dear Cousin Woodrow
I am once more back in the service and am stationed at Fort Benjamin Harrison acting as an instructor feRor the candidates for commission in the Officers' Reserve Corps. While the work is most exacting I find that most of my past military experience has returned to me.
My Dear Cousin Woodrow
I am once more back in the service and am stationed at Fort Benjamin Harrison acting as an instructor feRor the candidates for commission in the Officers' Reserve Corps. While the work is most exacting I find that most of my past military experience has returned to me.
I realize how busy you are and I shall not take up any more of your time, but I wanted you to know that with myself already in the service and Edwin awaiting his commission in camp at Madison Barracks, the Wilson family is doing everything in in its power to aid the country.
We expect Cousin Margaret here next Sunday as she is giving a recital at our large theater. Monday night Edythe is entertaining a few friends at dinner in her honor. I wish you could be present with us.
My address still remains 410 Traction Bldg., Indianapolis, Indiana. I will not offer you my services as I am now in a position where you can command me.Edythe and Elizabeth joins me in sending love to you all.
Your loving cousin,
AMW
