May Dear Cousins:
     
      You've no idea how very much pleased I was to get Ethel's letter from Camp Merritt. It was among the first I have recieved [sic] in Europe and was all the more highly appreciated for that. You most certainly would have been raised to the nth power in my estimation (if you aren't already there) had you have gone to work at Mark Twain school. You'll never know how to appreciate Mark really and truly until you read his Innocents Abroad & Tramp Abroad and then get to come over on a Government boat with all expenses paid and an almost really truly salary in the bargain. I had a great experience comming [sic] over. It was almost like an Italian summer cruise you read about as far as the weather goes. Almost like one
