This is a handwritten letter from Allen J. Sutherland to his parents, signed "Bud." The letter is written on cream-colored paper with an orange grid pattern. It was written just after Bud had moved back to Camp Barkeley in Texas after training in Louisiana and along the Sabine River between Louisiana and Texas. He describes their journey through Texas, and later mentions how the soldiers will need to get used to having beds to sleep in after so long sleeping on the ground. |
