Robert Morriss Browning correspondence to Mabel C. Williams, July-December 1918

1918-07-17 Robert M. Browning to Dr. Mabel C. Williams Page 2

the big party. "I ain't mad at nobody, now."
I attended the wedding last nightof the junior subaltern of our company. My second offense this month, as I wrote you about being an usher for my ex-roommate Lt. Knoll. The honeymoons in both cases are likely to be much abbreviated.
After we go East we weill probbaly be held for some time with our division for final training in various things on which we need polishing so that I'll write more fully as to my whereabouts.
Am fearfully busy now in preparation for the move so that I haven't much time to gossip, I surely would enjoy hearing form you again before I leave here, however, if you have time to tell me about things.
I have just read "Dere Mable, or The Love Letters of a Rookie." That's one of the funniest things I've seen in a long time. Guess I'll send it to you if you don't mind.
I'll have to send a lot of junk back from port of embarkation whenever we get there so there's no use taking this even part of the way. If you don't want it pass it on to some of my friends. I wouldn't want Gladys and her misinformation , for instance to have close dealings with a book with my name on it.
By the way, has Clarence Hansen been commissioned yet and do you know his address? There's a possibility that he may pass on my mental qualifications as I haven't had my psychological exams yet. Took a physical yesterday with no apparent difficulty in spite of my fast life.
Greet my friends. What's Mrs. Gaw's address in Ohio?
Interrogatively Bob
