Lengthy ALS signed “George S. Patton, Jr.,” eight pages on two sets of two adjoining sheets, 5.25 x 6.75, February 13, 1910. Letter to his father. In part (with grammar and spelling retained): “I finally succeeded in finding the Bannings though only after much difficulty. First I went to the Annex and found that it was full and had been for days and that no one was there. I tried the auditorium with the same result then the La Salle but nothing could I find. I then learned the names of all the stations from which trains left for St. Paul and started visiting each and examining the reservations at the second I tried I found five for Banning on the 6:30 so I waited and made friends with the agent and learned from him that No. 2 Santa Fe was late and would not get in until about 6:30 which as the stations are a mile apartment that they would be late…We probably will not leave here until then except for a short time in June for the military tournament in Chicago this is hellish for my plans in just rocks hell out of them. So that I am contemplating a different course, namely to get married in March or April…These damned old fossils have no interest in what happens and you can't learn from them what actually will occur nor who will go where still I will try to learn something somehow.” In fine condition.
