[American Y. M. C. A. letterhead] 9 P. M. Camp Dodge, Iowa [December] 3rd 1918 My Darling wife:- Marians’ letter with your enclosed came today. Was mighty glad to get them. Marian writes a mighty good letter for her age, only she might be a trifle more careful with her spelling. Well I am off for Dubuque at 7:20 a. m. tomorrow. Leave [Des Moines] at this time on the Chicago Great Western. Will be over there the rest of this week at least. Will write you on arrival or as soon as I can find out what there is to do. Hope that you got my special Del. today. Unless they got this message up just right do not think that it would receive much attention in [Surgeon Generals] Office. Will not write Dr. W. at this time am hopeful that it won’t be long before

Must stop and finish getting ready for the trip. Much love. Devotedly Everett.
