This is a handwritten letter from Allen J. Sutherland to his parents, signed "Bud." The letter is written on plain white paper. It was written while Bud's address was given as Shreveport, Louisiana, though they were currently camped in Texas. Bud mentions that their next goal is to push the 77th Division back across the Sabine River located between Texas and Louisiana and cross it. Bud tells his parents that the plan is to then move on for three months, hopefully back to Camp Barkeley where there are better living conditions. He briefly mentions Art Tomingas of D Company who is from Gillette. |
