dc.description.transcriptionFort Sam Houston March 2, 1937 Dear Grandma and Grandpa: I hope no one is sick or anything, because I haven't received a letter from you in over a month. I hope you got the $5 I sent last month. I'm out of debt now; the glasses are paid for, so I can send $10 from now on, just as before. I got some Valentines from Florence, Beatrice, Aubrey and Uncle George on Valentine's Day but they didn't write a word. I wrote them last, several months ago, but haven't gotten a letter from yet. I wrote the last letter to John about a year ago and he hasn't answered either. Now that you have stopped writing, I don't know anything at all about the events and news of Broken Bow. I seem to be the Forgotten Man or Something. Virginia never fails to write though. She certainly is a fine girl. She sent me another large picture the other day. It was tinted very nicely and showed her blonde hair, blueish eyes and rosy cheeks to perfection. Of course I had to return the favor so I went to the studio and posed for one. Two proofs were made, one was better than the other. So naturally I had the enlargement made from it. They let me keep the other proof so I'm sending it to you. Maybe next month I'll send you a large one too. I'm getting along fine. I'm instructing in the company Radio Class yet. We're supposed to get our new Tanks by the 15th of April. If we do we'll get lots of new ratings. Well, tell everybody hello for me. And be sure to write once in a while, will you? Love, Smith S.L. Green 2nd Tank Co. Ft Sam Houston Texas Mr. W.M.
