ALS signed “Geo S. Patton, Cadet It and Adjutant,” four pages on two adjoining sheets, 5.25 x 6.75, West Point letterhead, no date. Letter to his father. In full: “I am it [“it” is doubly underlined]. And writing at a desk in the room to which four years ago I looked with a sort of religious reverence but really now that I have gained it, I do not feel particularly grand or elevated, hang it I never do, I get a thing and then it seems ridiculous that I could ever have been in doubt, still I will probably loose ten pounds by worry for fear of loosing it between now and June. I hated to see 1908 go for there were a lot of nice people in it and I felt pretty bad when I saw them dance army blue.
The hop was the most crowded affair I have ever been to here in past there was little fun to be had at it though the little one last night was fine. Do you remember Mr [Edward A.] Stockton a large fat fellow when he went up to get his dip. [diploma] from Mr Taft [President-elect William H. Taft in 1908] the steps brake down and he fell and great was the fall thereof.
This room is fine it has three radiators and being double you can close up the small room and have it fine and warm. also it is right at the head of the stairs going to the shower baths so it is quite a luxurious place. We had a rehearsal of the ride yesterday with the band and it went off well the ride is Saturday. The whole Simonds Marshall outfit were just behind me and when I got through reading the maps they all congratulated me very warmly it was quite nice of them. My voice is not as good as it should be but I hope it will improve. I am very well with lots of love your devoted son.” In fine condition.
