Dear Edward,
Roberta L. has just left. She was in for a cup of chocolate and some music. We fed the ducks this afternoon to please her, and hung around Durant Field to please me.
One ship was up when we arrived and we saw it land. That was all the excitement

Dear Comrade Bates:
Comrade Teague has turned over to me your letter on citations etc for I am handling them for Supt. C. J. Du Four. In reference to your stating that a former member is supposed to have the D.S.C. etc I will say that your disbelief in the genuineness of his claim may be justified. If you will do as[inserted above] I have done, you can get a report on this party by writing to the Adjutant General's office at Wash.
Thanking you for your letter and hoping to see you at the Post I remain
Fraternally yours
Robert Floyd Gray Commander Ala Post #9.

Congratulations and best wishes upon your graduation. We rejoice so much as you do over this feat as we realize just what it means to you. I know what it means to me i.e. "I shall have medical attention free of charge." All joshing aside — you have accomplished something that very few men would have attempted under the same conditions which you have so eagerly, persistently and untiringly struggled. It has proven that you are a man of ideals and integrity. That you have an unfailing spirit to move ahead against obstacles which would flounder most men. Perhaps the great battles of the Great World War have taught and experienced you to proceed against such odds. No doubt it has helped. But more than that it is the man himself. It is he who must fight with the innate and covate powers of the mind and decide as to whether he
