He wrote, "I have lots to tell but can only say I am in Africa and getting along fine. Tell Mother not to worry over me for I am OK. Keep writing for letter just mean everything to me. I would like for you to send the Morehouse Enterprise to me. In that way I can get news of the boys in service. The climate here is the same as in California.
