Charlie Stevenson letter to Grandma Sunday - n.d.
Transcript
[Camp Funston] Sunday Dearest Grandma: A few short and sweet words of thanks for the dandy cakes which came this morning. Both of them are fine! The one cut in pieces is all gone, while the whole one is half gone. I’m sure grateful to you for them! The paper and envelopes also come in handy - they always do! Never mind the old clippings! I’ll get them the first time I come home, which I hope is [March 2]
Transcript
I had a couple of the clippings of Maurice's last letter. My scrap book was pasted up to date all this morning. It sure is a peach of a book now! On Valentine’s Day I got two nice boxes of candy - one from a North Dakota girl - the other from the Kansas City girls whose clever letter you read the last time I was home. She still writes to me and I sure enjoy her letters. No need to send me much ready matter, as I get enough army dope to keep me busy for a long time. I’m way behind now on it! This forced confinement doesn’t bother me one bit - I get to bed early. We get a piano tomorrow I was just told! Good enough, I say! Aunt Kate’s cookies come to me in fine shape - they haven’t come for a long time, though! I wrote a letter Maurice and to O’Gee today. Love, Charlie
