| Text - Outline | E. N. Meador, Cassville, Mo. Dear Brother: We are still very busy and yet the work is getting easier as we go along. We have work in motors, ordinance, electricity, radio, signaling, naval regulations and navigation. We have a fine group of men - none but men of experience in technical lines of business, or men of university training can get into this work. We have 79 men in our company and we raised $175,000 in an hour for the Fourth Liberty loan. Among the number are men of high financial standing and others famous in their respective lines. McMillin who was with Perry on his North Pole expedition is here. He is an author of note and has made independent trips to the north. We do not know when we will go from here. We will be here four weeks longer. We have our over sea trunks and I hope to be one who gets across, though none of us may. I would rather be in France than to be sent anywhere else and if I have any say in the matter there is where I shall go. I get the paper and am glad to hear from home. Everything is fine here and we shall keep well and safe in every way. Your brother, L. E. Meador, Barracks 48, Aviation Beach, Great Lakes, Ill. Oct. 16, 1918 |
