ALS signed “Geo S. Patton, Jr,” four pages on two adjoining sheets, 5.25 x 7, January 28. Letter to his Aunt Nomie. In part (with Patton’s grammar and spelling retained): “I am feeling fine and am nearly in training I go over to the gym every afternoon at five and exercise hard for half an hour then go down stairs and wrestle for fifteen minutes. Wrestling is the best exercise I ever tried it uses every muscle in your body to the utmost and particularly strengthens ones neck besides it keeps your nose out of the way of elbows and don’t dislocate your shoulders you can’t get hurt much. Just now I have a…black eye from it but it is due to my carelessness…The new preacher here is always preying that we be delivered from the evils of idleness. If he ever lived a day in barracks I guess he would have less fear of our going to hell by that road. I guess that my chances of getting first corp are gone that man Greble is as military as I am and has a lot more pull still I will get one any way I hope.” In fine condition, with pencil notation to top of first page, and some scattered light toning and foxing. An early Patton letter detailing army life showing his dogged determination to climb the ranks.
