ALS, three pages on two adjoining sheets, 5.25 x 6.75, Mounted Service School letterhead, no date. Letter to his mother. In full (with grammar and spelling retained): “You and Pa must be regular hollers in the roadster and yet Pa swore he had no use for it. Nothing very exciting has happened here this week. I think the baby wrote you it has rained and every thing is very sticky. I never saw a place where a little water made the ground so heavy. As we start polo tomorrow one of my ponies had to go lame to day I hope it is nothing serious. Billy Wood is coming out to see us he ought to be here in the morning we did not know he was coming until to night. I just got through writing an article on the sword for the rasp [the student yearbook] and will mail you a copy tomorrow it is only fairly good. If it dries out sufficiently Mr. Palmer and I are going Coyote hunting Saturday we have to go now as soon the salter will be in the fields and then we cannot hunt. I had a fine chase with Galago the other day we ran a pack about a mile and a half and then lost him. The baby has a slight cough but is not sick at all B is well.” In fine condition, with a vertical fold through a single letter of signature. Patton was appointed the school’s first Master of the Sword.
