Transcript
3:15 P. M. [December 2, 1918] My Dear:- Your letter (Special Del.) just came and am surprised. As I wrote on back of letter not to mention or do anything. Is likely to get me in bad and make it longer. Dr. Parish is not out of service and I would not want to come remain in. Just got a wire to go out on the Students Army Demobilization. Do not let them take any action if you can stop it. Must stop. Will wire you. Lots of Love. Everett.
Transcript
a few lines more wire said go to Dubuque and Cedar Rapids Iowa at once. Was not clear and we are getting it straightened out. Will write more later. Am worried over your action. Wish you had at least deferred until you wrote me. It may mean keeping me in service longer.
