In part: “It would make me very happy to autograph ‘Shooting the Russian War’ and if you will mail it to me, I shall inscribe my ‘John Hancock’ and get it back to you…I am having a rest now at my Connecticut home and storing up energy for my next trip to the war…while I am enjoying my brief respite at home, I am looking forward to getting back to an active war front.” In fine condition, with some mild creases and toning.
