My Dear Wife:
                        I have time to day Sunday afternoon and only just now too for I have been busy all day to write you a few lines We are busy all the time allmost. To day I was put in charge Camp Convalescent at this hospital and have four Surgeons under me this is considered quite a promotion. There is only one surgeon higher than me and there are from 20 to 24 of us in all.
 
I may be removed at any time but it will be to take some other position not inferior
 
I have not received a letter yet. I want you to send me $10.00 if you can get it if you cant borrow it two or three weeks and I will return it put it in a letter. I have not made out any bills but will get at it soon.
Let me know what you and Marcel have concluded & do.
 
This is my third letter Give my respects to Father Mother Lovina and all others
